Defining parameters for grids

Map parameters to fields on parent screens for user-defined grids with Grid Type = Tab. This tab shows both system parameters and user-defined parameters from SELECT and WHERE statements.

To define parameters for grids:

  1. Open the Grid Designer form.
  2. Select the grid for which to define parameters, and then click the Parameters tab.
  3. Select a parameter to map to the parent screen. The system automatically populates Parameter, System, and Data Type.
  4. Parent Grid Field—Enter the parent screen field for the parameter. For example, map parameter :wonum to WO No. on the Work Orders form when adding a new tab with child records to that form.
  5. Click Submit.
