Cable Block Diagrams Grid Layout
The Cable Block Diagrams grid layout can be set by the user using the Grid Manager utility. The Grid Manager allows users to define Views, that is, which fields should be viewable in the grid, their default position (column order), column size, default sort order and whether a data filter is applied (e.g. Show only 'New' cables). New Grid Views can be saved for use by individuals or for entire project teams and existing Views selected. Refer to Grid Manager for more information.
Up to 10 user-defined fields, i.e. fields with user-defined names, may be added to the grid if required. Refer to Options for details. Users may enter data into these fields, and the Description field, directly. The other fields are display-only.
