[Integrates] Add a marker to let the user know some columns are hidden
Problem to solve
When using the columns toggle functionality to show and hide specific columns of a table, there's no way to let the user know there are some hidden columns without the user having to click the button to see the modal. This may be inconvenient, especially for new users who may not know some columns are hidden. Or maybe a user doesn't remember having hidden a column in a previous session.

Proposal
Add some kind of marker to the columns toggle button (old and new) that is shown whenever there is at least one column hidden in the given table. The marker could be something similar to the red dot that appears in the Events tab link, or it could be something different. That way, every time a user doesn't see the marker, they know all columns are displayed and can query the information confidently without having to check the columns toggle modal.
Test plan
- Make sure current front-end tests are not affected.
Steps
-
Define the kind of marker to be used. -
Implement the marker functionality in the old columns toggle button component -
Implement the marker functionality in the new columns toggle button component -
Make sure that the code contributions checklist has been followed.
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
There is a marker next to the column toggle button (old and new) that easily lets the user know there are hidden columns in the current table.
