editable grid

A Score Level 1

hi ,

i need to created a grid in which data is coming from a table in DB.

The user can update any column value from that grid. On click of submit , the new column values will be saved into DB.

User should be able to delete a row or any column value from the grid also. Those should also be saved into Db on submit. How to pursue this using editable grid ?

Update 1:

 Grid data is visible , Values are coming from the DB.

 But whenever I try to change any column values , for example producer code , data doesnt persists, same value comes on clicking elsewhere.

Texfiled values are saved into local variable , saveinto is an Ri mapping of that table type . 

Attached the updated Code.

Ri mapping is of the producer table type and array type.  Kindly help.

     rule!APAC_SGP_getProducercodeAHmapDetails() is this rule returns data subset or dictionary ,if its data subset then  you need to do like rule!APAC_SGP_getProducercodeAHmapDetails().data

    There is a comma missing in line 11

    local!tableDetails[fv!index].prdcr_cde as in line 56 will not work. Please have a look at the recipe.

    Your showWhen is  hides the grid instead of the link

  • this rules returns dictionary values, already used .data in the rule.
