Gridview

The purpose of the Gridview is to display large quantities of rows of items faster. With Gridview the contents of a list is displayed in batches, in stead of one long list.

For example, there are approximately 1300 Danish post codes. With Gridview it is possible to have them loaded and displayed in batches of, for example, 200.

A search in the Use Log as another example, easily retrieves a large amount of data. It may take a while to load all data into the display panel. To avoid long response times, you can use Gridview. When you have looked at one batch of data, you can navigate through the remaining batches using the navigation buttons, for example Move next.


Operate the Gridview

The default number of records in the gridview is 2000. If, for example, you are viewing a list of Danish post codes, it will (if it exceeds 2000) show a status bar at the bottom of the list. This bar shows the result in batches of 2000 post codes at a time, for example,  2001 - 4000 of 5058.

Now, you have to click the Move next button to load the next batch of 2000. You can always navigate the total series of batches by use of the buttons shown below.

Move first - Moves to the first batch of data.

Move previous - Moves to the previous batch of data.

Move next - Moves to the next batch of data.

Move last- Moves to the last batch of data.

Adjust the Gridview

Click Options > Gridviews to set the amount of data per batch. By default, the gridview is set to display 2000 items. For better performance,  you can adjust the number to, for example, 200 items.

The grid view is by default set to 2000. In the Number of records in gridview field in the GridViewOption dialog box, the default value is entered as 2000__ , that is  two thousand succeeded by two underscore characters, in all 6 characters.

The field must always contain 6 characters. If you, for example, want to set the number to 350, you must enter it as 350___ , that is three hundred and fifty followed by three underscore characters.

  1. Click Options > Gridviews.
  2. In the Number of records in gridview field, enter a new value, for example 350, it must be entered as 350___.
  3. Clik OK.
