Grid Control

The Grid Control displays a grid in the published form where users can enter a repeating set of items. You can define columns to represent data points that users will enter. Users can add rows to the grid in the published form.

Tip: You can view examples of grid controls in the Meeting Minutes and Daily Log Templates.

To configure the grid:

  1. Select Modify Grid Settings from the Properties tab.
    The Configure Grid dialog opens.
  2. From the Binding section, select an existing Property Array from the list, or add a new property array by selecting the Add Property Array icon, typing the name of the new property array in the Property Array field, and selecting the icon to confirm the property array.

    If you have entered an incorrect property array, you can select the icon.

  3. Once you have selected a property array, add columns by selecting the Add Column icon from the right side of the Columns section.

    To delete a column, select the Delete Column icon.

    You can move a column to a different position in the order of columns by selecting the icon.

  4. Enter a name for each column in the Column Label field.
  5. Under Property, select the Binding icon to add a binding. For more information, click here. To remove an existing binding, select the "X" icon.
  6. Select the Read Only checkbox if you do not want users to edit the column information.
  7. Select the Multiline checkbox if you want information entered in the column to display on multiple lines if applicable.
  8. In the Widthpx field, enter the width of the column in pixels.
  9. When you are finished configuring the grid, select Save.

You can edit the appearance of the Grid Control from the Style tab. You can enter the width of the entire grid in the Width field. In the Column Width field you can enter the minimum width of each column. In the Height field you can enter the height of the entire grid.

Note: To ensure that users are able to add rows in the published form, it is recommended to enter a height of 200px or higher.

In the Cell Height field you can enter the minimum height of each row. The Control Style field allows you to modify the control style. For more information about editing style, click here.
