MP workspaces that manage data display a collection of records in a grid. The controls at the top of each column can be used to sort the data. The current sort order is indicated by an ascending or descending arrow in the column header.
You can specify which columns appear in the grid, and drag them into different positions. You can also save different column arrangements as views that can be used later.
The Action column lists operations that can be applied to an individual record.
Grid Controls
The main set of tools available with Grids are sort, filter, paginate, apply actions, and export:
Sort – The header of each column can be used to sort the list in ascending or descending order. Just click on the header to sort, and click again to reverse the sort order.
Filter – The filters in the header of each column can be used to limit the list to specific values. Some filters have additional options that can be selected from a list box, and for others, you can simply type the value you want to find.
Paginate – The pagination controls are used to view the additional pages of results. In most cases you can choose how many rows you want to see in the grid, and you can page forward and back through consecutive pages of results.
Actions – The Actions control applies an operation to all selected records. To select a record, mark the checkbox in the first column of the Grid, or use the Mass Actions control to select multiple records.
Mass Actions – The Mass Actions control is used to select multiple records to be the target of an action. Options: Select All / Unselect All, Select Visible / Unselect Visible, then select the desired Action.
Export – Some Grids also provide controls to export the data shown in the Grid. In most cases the exports formats include CSV and XML.
