Creating grids
Grids are spreadsheet-like tools for collecting data. A grid component can display in the user interface as either a table or a list.
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.
When you add a grid to a form, you set it up in two parts:
The grid component defines the type of grid you want to add, and the database table in which to store entered data, or from which to read data to display.
The grid attributes define each of the columns in the grid.
You determine whether a grid is editable or read-only when you create the grid component. If you want the same information to be editable in one form and read-only in another, you need to create two grid components and then set them up to include the same grid 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.
