About Data Grids
Data grids display records in rows and columns throughout AlloyScan. They provide tools for finding, organizing, and working with data without changing the underlying records.
Depending on where a grid appears, you can search, sort, filter, group, format, and export data. Inventory provides the most extensive set of grid features, including custom columns, advanced filters, grouping, conditional formatting, saved views, row selection, and bulk actions. Grids in Software, Network, Analytics, and Admin Center follow the same general pattern, although the available controls and actions may vary.
In a wide grid, the first data column stays fixed on the left as you scroll horizontally. By default, this is the primary column that identifies each record, such as Name in Inventory. This keeps the record identifier and any links in the column visible as you inspect columns on the right. If you hide the primary column, the next visible data column becomes fixed.
Common grid tasks
- Use Filter items to search the loaded rows.
- Sort or filter individual columns to narrow the result set.
- Open Customize View to choose columns and access the options supported by that grid.
- Save a view when you need to reuse the same layout and filters.
- Export all rows, or selected rows where selection is available, to CSV or XLSX.
- Select Load all before an all-row operation when the grid is limited to the top 1,000 records and you need the complete result set.
