Introduction

...

The easiest way to see how the Advanced Grid works is to use the existing built-in App Expenses Claims and look at an existing form in the app. Here are the steps:

StepsScreens (Click to view)
  1. Start Joget Server and open the App Center.

  2. Log in as admin and click on the pencil icon on the Expenses Claim to open the Design App. (see Figure 1)

  3. Under FORMS column, click on Expense Claim Form (see Figure 2):
  4. Hover the mouse over the Calculation Field labeled Total Amount $ on the canvas and click on Edit to open up the Edit Calculation Field properties.

  5. Take note of the Variables field.  The spECD value is referring to another field within the form (see Figure 3).

  6. Hover the mouse over the Grid element on the canvas above the Calculation Field and click on Edit to open up the Edit Grid properties (see Figure 4).

  7. In Figure 5, we are summing at a specific column from a Form Grid.
