Managing Interactive Grids

An interactive grid presents users a set of data in a searchable and customizable report. Developers control how an interactive grid works by editing the following attributes in Page Designer: region attributes, report Attributes, and Column attributes.

Note:

To learn more about features and capabilities of interactive grids, install the sample application, Sample Interactive Grids. See "Installing a Productivity and Sample App."

Managing Interactive Grid Region Attributes
Each application page contains one or more regions. A region is an area on a page that serves as a container for content. Developers edit region attributes to alter the SQL source, change the region layout and appearance, define a region displays selector, and create region conditions.
Managing Interactive Grid Attributes
Report Attributes control how an interactive grid works. Developers edit interactive grid Attributes to control if end users can edit the underlying data, configure report pagination, create error messages, configure the toolbar and download options, control if users can save public reports, and add Icon and Detail Views.
Managing Interactive Grid Column Attributes
Column attributes enable developers to control the display, features, and behavior of interactive grid columns. Developers edit Column attributes to alter nearly all aspects of column behavior, including altering the layout and appearance, creating validations, defining column links, creating column filters, and adding support for export and printing.
About Customizing Interactive Grids in a Running Application
When running an application, users can alter the report layout using Column menus and sort options, rearrange columns by dragging and dropping, and change how data displays using options on the Actions menu.
Saving Interactive Grids
After users customize an interactive grid they can save it as either a Private or Public report.
