Hi,
I have a summary screen which has list of columns that I generated using a Record Type list and not through an interface. How do I put a checkbox using a grid column?
I found this link which talks about the delete functionality but not sure where do I enter this code as I am not able to access the expression editor to the entire summary screen instead I only see individual grid column expression editor.

Basically I want to implement delete functionality by selecting each row using checkbox and delete them. Appreciate any help and advance thanks!!
Suneetha.

Refer to this: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.1/read-only-grid-configuration.html#selection
You can use the selection property on the grid field for the selection and with the click of the button using delete from the datastore entity to delete the data.
Thanks, I am able to use the Selection property to enable check box in my grid field. But how do I create a Record List Action to delete multiple records at the same time as per user selects the rows using the checkbox. Is there any sample code for deleting multiple rows from the database using gridField. (like Add a new record to database using Record List Action)
Thanks
For that you can use richtextIcon as a column in the grid. on click of that icon you can delete the row from the DB at the same time. but with checkbox, you have to create a seperate button which can delete the records from the DB
If you want to delete multiple rows you need to use the a!deleteFromDataStoreEntities() function. You can select the rows and store the data in a local variable and use that local variable in the dataToDelete parameter of a!deleteFromDataStoreEntities(). Hopefully this should do the work.
