Grids

Grids display tabular data, for example, a list of permissible attributes for a class. The following is an example of a grid:

All grids have some common features, such as:

• Sorting: By default, most grids are sorted by the sort order and name. Change this sorting by clicking on the header. The first click sorts in the ascending order. The second, in the descending order. The third click reverts the list to the default.

• Selecting Columns: Right-click a column header to choose a columns to display.

• Paging: Grids display limited entities per page. If the number of items in a grid cannot fit a single page, the number of pages will appear at the bottom-center of the grid. Use arrows keys to navigate between pages.

• Item count: On the task bar of the grid, you will find information on the number of items in the grid and what items are displayed on the current page.

• Adding items: Some grids support adding of items. In such grids, look for the Add () button at the bottom left of the grid.

• Grouping: Some grids contain grouped data. Grouping is predefined in a grid and it is not possible to group by an arbitrary field. Groups have precedence over sorting and any sorting applied will sort items in the groups.

• Reorder: Drag columns in the desired order.
