The sc-grid definition provides fields for setting the properties of the entire grid and of the individual columns within the grid and is fully described below.


2 Definition

sc-grid is defined by a set of name/value pair fields consisting of:

  • Required system fields
  • Required customizable fields
  • Optional customizable fields

Note:

  1. Default values for fields described in the tables below are shown in bold text.


2.1 Root Level Fields

This section lists and describes the root level fields for defining the properties of the entire grid.
