Editable grids provide user ability to do in-line editing directly from the grid or sub-grid, so users do not need to open the record just for a minor modification. It is available for web or tablet; Editable Grid is not available for phone version.

There are a few crucial points regarding the Editable Grid:

  1. The standard fields can be edited within Editable Grid control, including lookup fields and options sets.
  2. Filtering is supported
  3. The grouping and sorting are possible in the view of the Editable Grid.
  4. Business rules work with Editable Grid for example; show error message, set field value, lock or unlock feet
  5. Some data types are not supported by editable grids for example; composite fields, calculated fields and read-only fields
  6. JavaScript events are supported for example any JavaScript event on the field in the grid
  7. The changes made in the grid are not “autosave”, there is a small icon button to “save” changes.
