Adding a data grid

You can create a data grid display control for your custom forms. This control is available in core forms and displayed in the main application and Mobility.

With the data grid control, you can:

  • Display a header and a list of rows based on a single, underlying linked data source.
  • Specify a vertical or horizontal heading row.
  • Specify values in a pipe-delimited list for each column in the heading row.
  1. Navigate to Maintenance > System Administration > Toolkit > Form Studio > Workflow Form.
  2. Create or edit a form:
  3. Click Add Row to add a row in the Visible Controls area.
  4. Select the row so that it appears grey in color.
  5. Select DATAGRID from the drop-down and click Add Field.
  6. Specify this information:
    Name
    Provide a name for the data grid.
    Heading Row
    Specify values in a pipe-delimited list for each column in the heading row.
    Note: You must also specify the locale for your header.

    For example: default=|h1|h2~|~en=|Recorded|Type

    For more than one locale: default=|h1|h2|h3|h4~|~en=|heading1|heading2|heading3|heading4~|~de_de=|heading1|heading2|heading3|heading4
