Grid Selection with text array

Question

Hi , 
 
 I wanted to display some districts in grid with selection (the data of the grid is coming from a webservice call ,it has only one column and webservice returns a list of string values). 
 Can I directly use that String array to populate the grid data or Do I need to construct a CDT with identifiers and values in order to achieve the selection above thing. 
 Based on the selection values from the grid (single or batch selection) , Need to display another read only grid.

Thanks

You can create a paging grid without any cdt structure direct from data which you get from web service like - = load( local!MeetingNote:{"a","b","c"}, with( local!datasubset:todatasubset( local!MeetingNote,a!pagingInfo(1,2) ), a!gridField( label: "Test", totalCount:local!datasubset.totalCount, columns: { a!gridTextColumn( label: "Title", data: { local!datasubset.data }, alignment: "LEFT" ) }, value: a!pagingInfo( startIndex: 1, batchSize: - 1 ) ) )) but if you want sorting on the grid than you have to create a dictionary structure or temporary cdt for this.

Hi Soujanya, I believe it's better to form the data in CDT format on load(), when you are dealing with webservice to get the data to display and operate on form, specially when you want to use Grid.

Hello Soujanaya 
 You have to save local!gridSelection also for save the identifier 
 load( 
 local!selectedAMUCode_txt, 
 local!availableRoleCode_txt:{"Thermal Landman","Thermal Geologist","Thermal Engineer","EOR Landman","EOR Geologist","EOR Engineer"}, 
 local!gridSelection: a!gridSelection( 
 selected: {}, 
 pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo( 
 startIndex: 1, 
 batchSize: 10 
 ) 
 ), 
 with( 
 local!AMUList_txt:todatasubset( 
 local!availableRoleCode_txt,local!gridSelection.pagingInfo 
 ), 
 { 
 a!textField( 
 value:local!AMUList_txt 
 ), 
 a!gridField( 
 totalCount:local!AMUList_txt.totalCount, 
 columns: { 
 a!gridTextColumn( 
 label:"AMU", 
 data:local!AMUList_txt.data, 
 alignment: "LEFT" 
 ) 
 }, 
 value: local!gridSelection, 
 saveInto:{ 
 local!gridSelection , 
 a!save(local!selectedAMUCode_txt,index(save!value, "selected", null))}, 
 identifiers:local!AMUList_txt.identifiers, 
 selection:true() 
 ) 
 } 
 ) 
 )
