Dear Team,

GATHERING DATA from system. but making it look SEXY to the user at the same time..

Is there a way to make Gridview do a Drop Down List ( 10 Pre Inputted Text Options)
so users can make a selection for a View.


And if not too much to push the envelope (More Advanced)
to extend to say (Drop Down) for Item, Customer or Vendor - Codes ..

If yes, please reply with as much detail
illustrations for a "DUMMY USER" as your PRECIOUS time will allow..

Thanks a Million for your help..

Edward,
I think that what you can do to make GridView more professional is to setup a number of Views & link them together.
You need to create a GV Workspace.

For example, say you want to choose one of 10 Customer Report Groups, and then display a number of transactions that are only for Customers from that Report Group.
You would create separate View for the Customer Report Groups.

You would next create one or more other Views that are linked to the first View. These linked Views will display the columns you want and will be filtered to only display the appropriate records.
When the user double-clicks on any one of the rows in the Customer Report Group, it will instantly refresh the accompanying Views and filter the data for what you are looking for.

This is very common and many of us who develop GV’s do this all the time.

Contact me if you want to discuss.

Hi Edward

There are a series of webinars called GridView Academy Online on the Softrak website (if you log in with proper credentials).

Samuel's suggestion about creating links, which I agree with, is discussed in class 3 - https://portal.softrak.com/support/training/webinarsingle.php?ID=217 - although you may want to start with class 1 if your knowledge of GridView, or lack thereof, requires it.

Hi Steve and Samuel,

Thanks for the guidance, I will take another look at the GV Workspace.

Edward
