Grid sections create a relationship between two objects.

For example, Grid Sections might present this kind of information in a record:

  • Expense line items in an Expense Report object
  • Line items in a proposal or invoice
  • List of available inventory items

To Add or Edit a Grid Section:

  1. Click Designer > Data > Objects > {object} > Forms > {form}
  2. Choose one of the following options:
    • To add a new grid section, click the New Grid Section link (located in the Elements Sidebar)
    • To edit an existing Grid section, click the Edit link in the section heading
  3. Complete the following information:
    Name
    Section Name
    Section Type
    Pre-populated (do not change)
  4. Define the grid section by selecting an Object Name and Linking Field
    Object Name
    Select an Object
    Linking Field
    Select a Lookup field from the available options
    Number of Rows
    Select the Number of Rows to display in the Grid section
  • This value is only used when there is no data to display. It defaults to 5 rows.
