Editable grids allow the user to edit a record in a list without having to open the form for the record. Editable grids are especially useful in subgrids when the user has to perform a set of updates to child records.
Editable grids have the following features:
- Grouping: Group by a column.
- Sorting: Sort by any column in the view.
- Filtering: Users can filter the records in the view.
- Support for business rules: Business rules can perform actions on the fields in the view.
You do not configure a view to be editable; you configure the component showing the view. You can configure the entity so that views are editable when the entity is selected in the site map, and you can configure subgrids in forms to be editable. You cannot currently configure editable grids in the maker portal. You need to switch to classic.
For an entity, you need to click on the Controls tab for the entity, click on Add Control..., and select Editable Grid, as shown in the following screenshot...
