Grids are what we see in the program. A grid is a view of a table/group in the database. in this way, a grid can be modified and also could have more information or less information that is in the table/group in the database. This is very important to understand as you might find you see the same table/group with different grids.
When you select a grid the name along the top of the grid window will show in orange.
Note this also gives you the context-sensitive Grid Tools ribbon as we talked about in the first section.
You can open tabs of grids by double-clicking on the data tree to open the grids.
you can move back to other already open grids by clicking on them along the top of the interface.
you will know which one you have active because it will be highlighted in orange.
OpenGround Grids are moveable and you can move them around in the interface. click and hold on the grid name along the top of the interface.
Moving the gird will let you use the quadrants tool to appear in the middle of the interface this will let you dock that gird into one of the four options.
you can make setups of grids that help to review data or answer questions between different grids groups/tables.
There are a number of ways to get data into OpenGround from importing to data entry profiles or field data entry. If you are only looking to review or make changes to information you can edit the grids from Professional directly.
The first thing you might notice is that the grids are not editable by default they are read only. If you want to make a grid editable or be able to direct add data they you will need the add/edit data button from the Grid tools ribbon.
the grid tools is the context-sensitive one which you get by selecting the grid.
Once you are in edit mode you can modify data for that grid. you will always know you are in edit mode because it will have an orange bar along the top of the grid.
If you want to add a new row you can click on the top orange row which will create a new row of data.
you will need to hit enter on your keyboard when making changes to commit the change to the row.
