Sorry then, my answer was to the top level question you have posted. Mike Schmitt has given the answer above.

Oh - that's fairly easy then. Just store the identifier of the row the user clicks from the first grid, and use it when pulling data to show in the second grid. Prior to that first click, just don't show anything where the second grid would be seen.

Both are read only grids only.

There wont be any editing of the data in the grids. I just have to show 2 table records.

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.

Hello Divya

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.

you will need to show them in a separate section - usually the best approach (just from experience) is to pop up a section or box just below the grid with the entry you've selected for editing.

You cannot show data in read-only and also let the user edit it.

The name of the grid makes it clear that it is read-only. If you want to let the user edit the data, make a related action for it, or a process model with a UIT that lets the user edit it, or replace the read-only grid with an editable one, setting the readOnly parameter for all inputs to true, until the user clicks on edit.

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