Constellation, how to hide table toolbar items like query info
In our application data is shown via list pages to a user. When the data is shown in a table to the user, the user has several options to configure the table to its needs. Several possibilities are described in the documentation. However I am not able to find how to hide options like query info or export to Excel.
The only option configured in App Studio is global search.
The table behavior is the same for a self service portal as wel for a case worker portal. We are using Pega 23.2.
My question is how can I hide the other menu options or in some scenario the whole menu? Is the only option a custom DX component?

Hello! These options are available by default or tables that are backed by Queryable data source of type Report Definition. As of now, there is no authoring available to turn it on/off.
Thanks!

As Archana mentioned, we can't hide these options if the displayType is Table.
Another option is using SimpleTable instead of Table; however, Sort and Group are unavailable in SimpleTable.

If I am correct a SimpleTable is only possible in the views we use in assignments with list properties. I also have list landing pages. In those pages I do not have the option of a SimpleTable.

SimpleTable can be used during the lifecycle of Case workflows. A simple table option is not available for landing pages, though you can use custom vs. existing views.

I'm also curious about the user persona interacting with this table: Is the persona a back office case worker? Or is the persona more of a self-service user?

@SebastiaanH We talked at PegaWorld, so I know you're using our Pega-generated full self service portal channel, not web embed.
You bring up good feedback: Often, it does not make sense to offer advanced actions like "Query info" in a self-service channel. (If I'm browsing a list of "RomCom" movies on Netflix, I'm not interested debugging info to see how long the query took. And I probably don't want to export the list to Excel. :-) ).
Like Ramesh mentioned, does "Simple table" help?

A simple table would certainly work in some use cases. Mainly in assignment processing.
I also have use cases where we show information in a list on the landing page. E.g. List of open work or a list of cases the user has created. In those scenario's I am not able to select a simple table. I only have Table, Gallary and Timeline.
If you are working on a feature for this in the future and have a workaround for now it would be great :).
The workaround I can think of is creating an own table as custom DX component
