Creating grids

Grids are spreadsheet-like presentations of data. Grids are either editable or read-only. An editable grid is for users to enter information, while a read-only grid displays information entered previously.

Grids have two parts:

The grid component that defines the database table in which to store the answers or from which to read the data

Multiple grid attributes that define each column in the table

You determine whether a grid is editable or read-only when you create the grid component. If you want the grid to be editable in one form and read-only in another, you need to create two grid components that contain the same attributes.

You can group attributes within a grid by using an Attribute Group Header on the grid. A grid can contain a mix of grouped and ungrouped attributes.
