Views Overview
The FileManager provides two inbuilt views for content visualization: Grid and List Views.
You can switch between views from the Toolbar button group
Grid View
This view is achieved with the Kendo Grid and in renders the files in a tabular manner (see Image1 below). That said, you can control the configuration of this view trough the views.grid object of the FileManager (see example below).
$("#filemanager").kendoFileManager({
views: {
grid: {
sortable: false //disable the sorting of the grid
}
},
dataSource: {
schema: kendo.data.schemas.filemanager,
data: data //local binding
}
});

List View (Thumbnails)
The List view is implemented with the help of the Kendo ListView component. The content in this view is rendered as a list of thumbnails, representing the files. You can control the configuration of this view trough the views.list object of the FileManager.
$("#filemanager").kendoFileManager({
views: {
list: {
... //disable the sorting of the grid
}
},
dataSource: {
schema: kendo.data.schemas.filemanager,
data: data //local binding
}
});
