Use the grid data entry page to enter tour run data for a list of tags. Tags are initially organized by groups defined in your tour configuration. You can use the grid data entry page on desktop browsers and mobile devices.

Grid-based data entry

Default columns in grid data entry are Name, Description, Value, Previous Value, UOM, Comment, Timestamp, and Limits. You can also customize the columns and move them to different positions, as required.

The following additional column selections are available.

Column	Description
Index	Sorts tags in numeric order, in the same order as the tag sequence.
Group	Sorts tags in group order, as defined in the tour configuration.
Instructions	Displays instructions, if defined. Note that you can also display instructions by expanding a tag entry.
Limits violated	Displays true or false for each tag.
Rejected value	Displays true or false for each tag.

To return to the individual data entry page, you click or tap the Switch to individual data entry link.

Note: Any changes you have made to sort order, grouping, page size, and column customization are saved in local storage so that the settings remain if you return to grid data entry later.

Grid-based data entry page controls

On the grid-based data entry page, you use the following controls.
