What are you not sure about? If you want to know how it is used check the below code.
=a!localVariables( local!items: { a!map(item: "Item 1", qty: 1, unitPrice: 10), a!map(item: "Item 2", qty: 2, unitPrice: 20) }, a!gridLayout( label: "Products", instructions: "Update the item name, quantity, or unit price.", headerCells: { a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Item"), a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Qty"), a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Unit Price"), a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Total", align: "RIGHT") }, rows: { a!gridRowLayout( contents: { a!textField( value: local!items[1].item, saveInto: local!items[1].item ), a!integerField( value: local!items[1].qty, saveInto: local!items[1].qty ), a!floatingPointField( value: local!items[1].unitPrice, saveInto: local!items[1].unitPrice ), a!textField( value: dollar(tointeger(local!items[1].qty) * todecimal(local!items[1].unitPrice)), readOnly: true, align: "RIGHT" ) } ), a!gridRowLayout( contents: { a!textField( value: local!items[2].item, saveInto: local!items[2].item ), a!integerField( value: local!items[2].qty, saveInto: local!items[2].qty ), a!floatingPointField( value: local!items[2].unitPrice, saveInto: local!items[2].unitPrice ), a!textField( value: dollar(tointeger(local!items[2].qty) * todecimal(local!items[2].unitPrice)), readOnly: true, align: "RIGHT" ) } ) }, rowHeader: 1 ) )
