    3.4.14.3. Grid Column and Row Setup

    3.4.14.3. Grid Column and Row Setup
     
    After creating the data capture Grid the rows and columns should be adjusted. The first step should be to adjust the columns by moving and removing the unneeded ones to fit all the data that needs to be captured. Deleting a column is done by clicking on each column header field to show up the Grid header menu and selecting the Delete Column option. In order to move a column around the mouse should be close to one of the horizontal column lines, the cursor will change to Move Column, like the image below:
    Move Column cursor
     
    The next step should be to create or select a master column using the Split Rows Based on this Column (Master Column) option in the Grid Header Menu. If the fields are misplaced they can be assigned to any other data field setup for the Grid also on the Grid Header Menu. If the rows are not splitting correctly it is just a matter of playing with the Row Split options until the desire result is achieved.
    The next step is to setup the entire Grid option on the Grid Menu as shown here. 
     
    The Grid Header Menu might have slightly different options depending on it's Type, more on the different Data Capture Field settings and configurations can be found here.
