Purpose

The Grid Display Adapter 2.0 is a configurable display that enables standard grid-style displays, and in v11.1+, it can be used as an alternative to the Grid Display Adapter 1.0. It is a tool that can be used to display data in a user friendly, feature-enhanced grid view display.  The grid offers a wide variety of features, including runtime-filtering, sorting, grouping, totaling, paging, conditional formatting, and many others.  The Grid Display Adapter 2.0 also offers improved performance and integration with CorasWorks’ Actions Framework.

In order to use the GDA 2.0 with actions, you must have a specifically configured SharePoint List Data Provider and a specifically configured Page Utility web part.  The appropriate configurations for each of these web parts are discussed in the Additional Web Part Configuration section. The discussion of the Page Utility references a JavaScript helper file. Click here to download that file.

 

IMPORTANT! This component is intended to be used by advanced builders and is limited in this release to the documented feature set in this online help. If you are looking for more information regarding a particular property or element and do not see it in this help, then it is not currently supported.
