Using Grid Lists

Purpose

View all the records for an item in a grid list of columns for specific fields, and use the available tools to perform associated functions.

Please note!

Grid lists are used in all browse windows, lookup windows, and detail edit windows.
The columns and their appearance are determined by the Profile that is in use and can be customised by setting Column Properties.
The layout of the grid list is saved with the current Profile.
