Corey - Please be aware that when you install and fire-up GridView, you initially are looking at a nice, clean, blank screen.

My colleagues are absolutely correct – GV opens the door for you to generate meaningful Views/Reports on your data.

But someone has to put the reports together.
And that means that it is either you, or your consultant.

To get started, have a look at the “Show-Me How” training videos.
I just checked, and there are currently 4 separate videos on various topics of GridView.

Good luck!
