The idea is good but the proposed implementation is weak.

  • "Footer" & "Header" field group type - I think it is confusing to use field group type for this, it can be implemented using just a flag instead. It is also confusing that this is ignore in single record view.
  • It sounds unnecessary that user have to set each button to appear in the header or footer section, it make sense to display all button available in grid view as a toolbar for the grid without having the user/developer to do anything extra. For batch mode, you will have to handle the complications where only a subset of the actions can be apply to all the selected records.
  • The selected logic can be implemented without adding a new columns to all the table - that's just too much work to be a practical solution. Also, the common approach to select all is to render the checkbox in the column header. Inverted selection is nice but rarely needed and I think we should just ignore that to keep things simple.
