Grids

Grids list individual records from the EAM module associated with the current view. Each record displays a set of general information (customized by the system administrator). If a record has related child records, the parent record can be expanded to display them.

Grids also provide an Edit Mode that enables users to add records or edit record information directly in the grid.

Finally, grids provide tools that enable users to control how they view and manipulate EAM data. This help topic outlines grid layout and functionality and explains how to perform common grid functions.

General Grid Tools

	Column Heading	Identifies the nature of the data in the column. Column headings correspond to field names. To change a column width, click and drag the right edge of the column.
	Column Sorting	Enables the user to control the order in which records are displayed. Click a column heading to sort that column.
	Column Filtering	Enables the user to control which records are shown (filtering). Click the funnel button to perform a quick filter on that single column.
	Grid Page Navigation	Lets users control how many records are displayed on a page and move through pages of records.
	Column Resizing	Click on the line between two columns and drag it left or right to resize the column. Select to save the customizations.
	Column Order	Select and drag a column left or right to move that column to a new location within the grid. Select to save the customizations.

Record Grid Tools

	Expand records	Expands the record to display related child records. The Expand button appears only if the view that contains the grid allows child records to be shown. If the plus sign is gray, there are no associated child records. An orange plus sign indicates that one or more child records exist.
	Collapse Record	Collapses the record to a single line and hides any child records. When a record is expanded, the button image changes to this minus sign.
	Child Record tabs	Appear when a record is expanded. Each tab in the row represents a type of child record. Click a tab to view a child grid for that type of record. The number in parentheses on the tab represents the number of child records available.
	Child Grid	Displays records, usually from another module, that are related to the parent record. Child grids function like other grids; any record added to a child grid is automatically associated with the parent record.
	Open Record	Opens the record in a Form. Forms show more detailed information and enable users to edit that information. More information about forms.
