The grid View type determines the set of grid View elements available
within a grid View. You can change the visibility of these elements to
visualise data in the most convenient and user-friendly manner.
Each grid View consists of elements that provide various capabilities
such as:
Cells display field values from particular records and, thus, stand at
the intersection of a column and row.
The Filter Panel (also called a Filter Box) displays information about
the currently applied filter criteria and allows users to do the
following:
The Group By box displays the headers of the columns that are involved
in grouping (if any). This box also enables users to group a View's data
by serving as a drop target for column headers. If enabled, the box is
displayed at the top of the View.
Categories classify chart values for comparison purposes in Chart View.
The number of chart values displayed per category depends on the diagram
type (a simple or multiple diagram).
A Series in the Chart View represents related data points that are
plotted in a chart diagram. Each data series in a chart has a unique
colour or pattern (unless specified otherwise) and is represented in the
chart legend. Normally, the data (series values) displayed in Chart View
are grouped into Categories. It is possible to plot one or more data
series in a chart to produce both simple and multiple (or grouped)
diagrams.
Group Footer panels are used to display group summaries for particular
columns. Footer panels are displayed at the bottom of the Table View.
Such panels are used to display total summaries (also called footer
summaries), but you can also display any custom information you need.
If enabled, the Indicator is displayed at the left of a grid View. Cells
divide the indicator into the following parts:
Grid Views can display their own data View Navigators which enable users
to navigate through dataset records, add and delete records, control the
data editing process, work with bookmarks and filter data.
The Preview Section allows you to display a memo field's content or
custom memo information for records. Such sections are displayed above
or under each data row and their width matches total column width.
Pie diagrams have unique visual elements.
