Question

Editable grid in Read only grid

Hello Everyone,

I have a requirement of showing an editable grid when clicked on a value in a read only grid.

Is it possible to do?

Or Is it possible to give a search filter and user filters to a editable grid?

Hi mk0724
You can show the editable grid on click by configuring show when or by using record pop-up(related action). There's no inbuilt parameters for filters in editable grid you have to use custom filters for that.

Do you want to just make a single row editable, or switch the whole grid?

I just have to show records from 2 tables.

One from the main table and when the main table record is clicked it needs to show the records from second table which is related to the main table

Hello [mention:dde161ff7a444fea9c9ba96b62562a2b:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] 

Not sure the way you asked the question makes sense. But from my assumption, I guess you are asking for a provision to edit the existing data in a grid which show read only data. 

You can use an editable grid and make it initially read only and have an icon for each row and when clicked, the row would turn editable. This updated data would be stored in a local variable and a button would appear in the bottom of the grid which would contain a!startProcess() and save your information. I have done this approach. But have used only to edit a single row of data at a time. If this approach you can have a top level filter before selecting the edit option.

Hello,

I just have to show records from 2 tables.

One from the main table and when the main table record is clicked it needs to show the records from second table which is related to the main table.

Both are read only grids only.

There wont be any editing of the data in the grids. I just have to show them.
