Designing the Grid

This task outlines the overall process for creating a grid.

To design the grid:

1. Create a form.

   Find/Browse, header detail, headerless detail, and search & select forms have a grid control on them automatically.

   Power edit, power browse, reusable and embedded edit subforms, reusable and embedded browse subforms, edit portlet, and browse portlet forms will accept a grid control.

2. On the form level, attach a BV for the engine to use to populate the grid or use values assigned in ER and system functions to insert grid rows.

3. Drop a grid control onto the form.

4. Configure the control.

   If you are working with a header detail form, you can attach a different BV to the control.

5. Add columns to the control.

6. Configure each column.

7. Add logic.
