Grid Manager

The Grid Manager enables you to define your own sets of data fields (columns), default column orders, default sorting and predefined data filters for most AVEVA Instrumentation data grids available in AVEVA Instrumentation modules. These sets of fields are called 'Views' and typically contain a subset of all available fields. These include the Project-specific properties that may be setup in the Engineer and Process Engineer modules.

The name of the current View is displayed on the left-hand side of the bar at the bottom of the AVEVA Instrumentation window.

Notes: If you are working in a project and the Security option has been activated in Security Manager, you may not have permissions to perform all grid management tasks. Contact the System Administrator for further information.

Some grids are not provided with the grid management facility. However for these grids, if columns are resized or re-ordered, these changes are saved between sessions (refer to Column (Field) Display Options).

The feature enables you to restrict the grid to display only those fields that are required for your current task. You can easily change between views by selecting from the list of Views created in the project. You can create new views and set them to wither 'Public' (which allows any other AVEVA Instrumentation user to use the view) or 'Private' (which restricts access to only the user that created the view).

Each grid is provided with a default view called ‘AVEVADefault’ which cannot be edited or deleted. It may however be copied and the copy then edited.

Some grids are also provided with an ‘Integration’ view which is used to specify the fields available for attribute mapping when configuring AVEVA Integration Service Imports. These can be edited, but not deleted.
