Open a Grid

To open a data grid, click Select in the Lists and Schedules section of the Home Tab.

The list of the grids in the current module is then displayed. For example:

The list may be divided into categories of grid, for example, Lists and Catalogues, as in the example above.

Click on a grid name to open it.

Each grid is displayed in its own tab. To switch from one open grid to another, click on the appropriate tab title. Options for changing the arrangement of grid tabs are available. Refer to Grid Window Options for further information.

When a list is opened, an optional List Tools tab, named after that grid and containing commands specific to that grid, is displayed (if there are any).

Record Loading Options

By default, if a list contains more than 1000 records, only the first 1000 of those records are loaded and displayed in the grid. As the user scrolls down the grid, once the initial 1000 records have been scrolled past, the next 1000 batch of records is displayed and so on until all the list records are displayed. The default number of records initially loaded can be changed to any value from 100 to 100000 by changing the Grid Lazy Loading setting in the Options windows of the Engineering modules. A user may also choose to load all the records in a grid at once by selecting the Load All option on the Home Tab.

Grid Information

If the list that the grid displays contains more records than are initially displayed (for example, 1000), then this will be indicated as follows:
