Description

This PR improves the UI view of the single-row data table, replacing the legacy cards with a clean, space-efficient CSS Grid layout.
It also adds dynamic user name resolution for audit fields (like createdby_id), so they display as full names rather than numeric IDs.

Walkthrough

The single-row datatable now resolves audit user IDs to full names, caches results, and displays them with formatted-value fallback. Lookups refresh after data changes and add/edit operations. The grid and labels use compact responsive styling.

Changes

Datatable user-name display

Layer / File(s) Summary
Audit user-name resolution
src/app/shared/tabs/entity-datatable-tab/datatable-single-row/datatable-single-row.component.ts
The component uses UsersService to resolve and cache audit user names. It refreshes lookups after data changes and add/edit operations.
Resolved value rendering and responsive styling
src/app/shared/tabs/entity-datatable-tab/datatable-single-row/datatable-single-row.component.html, src/app/shared/tabs/entity-datatable-tab/datatable-single-row/datatable-single-row.component.scss
Integer fields display resolved names when available and otherwise show the original value. The grid and labels use compact responsive styles with wrapping.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 00a08

The PR makes a localized UI and type-handling change; the remaining typing concern is non-blocking, so no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

the matching lookup value type. Update the audit ID and resolvedUserNames map
key to match UsersService.getUser, preserving the existing lookup behavior while
enforcing strict typing.

Yes, the new layout is responsive. We actually don't need the horizontal scrollbar because the CSS Grid wraps the fields to the next line when there isn't enough space.
I've attached some screenshots of different screen sizes. PTAL

sometimes having a data table with many columns i.e. 15 or more lead to use the horizontal scroll bar

I just tested it with 15 columns. I think it looks great as a stacked card, Should we keep it like this, or would you prefer a horizontal scrollbar instead?

135-142: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Deduplicate in-flight user lookups.

The cache is populated only after a response. If createdby_id and lastmodifiedby_id contain the same ID, or if ngOnChanges runs again before the first response completes, this code starts duplicate requests. Track pending IDs or cache shared lookup observables.
