Tables and grids are similar in that they provide structured layouts for data. Tables, which are created in HTML, display standard data that is defined using configuration files. Grids extend standard tables by allowing paging and by using Dojo components.
Using configuration layering, you can identify the location and file names of JSP snippets to be included inside the default pages. If these JSP snippets are not specified, the default grid pages are displayed. However, you can choose to specify these JSP snippets, and extend the grid components, by providing additional rendering information and grid data that is integrated into the existing grids.
Grids or tables can be modified to add columns, reorder or remove columns, change column widths or sorting, as well as to change hover information.
The components of a grid that can be modified are:
Changing grid layouts
Column width
Number of rows displayed per page
Number of rows displayed at a time per user scrolls
Number of columns to display
Adding or modifying hover information
The components of a table that can be modified are:
Number of columns to display
Changing table layouts
Note: All grid and table components are located in the application UI modules, for example Service-UI or DCS-CSR-UI.
