Each GridWorX configuration contains one or more columns. A column can contain multiple values. A column corresponds to the values or data points that you want to analyze in a grid. The columns that are defined for a configuration appear as child elements of the configuration in the tree control.
You can also use the Column tab to define Column properties. Select a column in the top grid in order to make changes to its properties in the Column Properties section below.
NOTES
Since each column is bound to a Subscription Data Field, no column can be added or removed. You can change the caption, width, and visibility of a column. The caption of a column can also be a global alias or language alias. You can also apply a status indicator for each column.
It's possible to show tooltips to visualize additional information for an alarm. You can associate a field to the tooltip in the Behavior tab. This will be the default value shown in the tooltip. However, you can also change the tooltips in runtime. Just check the checkbox "Can be Tooltip". You will get all the fields selected in the context menu, and you will be able to switch the content of the tooltip by clicking on them.
Please note that you need to click on the Apply Changes button to see the changes on the grid. This will optimize your changes and save your time.
Using Wrap Text on all the columns may decrease performance.
