Grid Builder

Grids display the records that fall within a view. They are designed to provide a quick look at key information from multiple records in a module and provide a quick link into a more detailed form view of a record.

The Grid Builder gives administrators control over which fields are displayed, the order they are displayed in, what they are called, and which tools show up in the toolbar.
