After users open the Lucity Web application and view their Dashboard, they usually want to see more detailed information. Views, Grids and Forms let users quickly see sets of data, then view or edit individual records.
View |
Views control how data is structured or displayed on screen. A View can either show all of the records in a single module or a limited set of records for a module, based on a preset filter. Views can be launched from the Modules tab, the Menu tab, or from a Dashboard plugin. Each View contains one or more grids. Forms may be attached to Views to allow users to open individual records for more detailed information. |
Grids display a list of records from the module for which the view has been built. Each record displays a set of general information (customized by system administrators). If a record contains child records, the record can be expanded to display the grid of related child records. Attached to each grid is a toolbar that enables users to perform different operations. Example: A parent Work Order grid may contain child Resources, Tasks, and Tracking grids. |

Forms |
Forms display individual records and can be customized (by system administrators) to let users see record details or to edit a record. Forms can be launched from a grid or a menu, depending on system settings. Forms are always launched in a separate pop-up window. |
