Advanced Grid is best described as a Grid with rich inline editing transformation. Depending on the target field, the Advanced Grid element would mimic the original target type for accurate and richer data entry capability. The Advanced Grid is only available on Professional and Enterprise Edition. |
Get Started

Load & Save Binder | Load Binder allows you to customize the method for data retrieval to populate the advance grid in the form. Save Binder allows you to customize the method on how the advance grid row records are saved to. This option is empty by default. An empty binder means that the advance grid records will be saved/loaded as a JSON format in the parent form & database table. See the list of available Form Binders. The recommended binder to use is the Multirow Form Binder so that each record is saved into a child database table via a subform definition. The binder will update the foreign key "parent id" into each child record to point to the parent database table.. |
