Launching the Grids
Contents
CloudNine™ LAW provides two kinds of grid:
•Embedded. In an embedded grid, search results are displayed in a panel that is integrated into the main window of CloudNine™ LAW. Because this view shares the main window with other tools, it can be most useful when working with a limited number of fields or shorter sets of query results.
•Standalone. In a standalone grid, search results are displayed in a window that is separate from the main window. Because this view occupies its own window, it can be most useful when you want to work with many fields or longer sets of query results.
1.From the main window, on the Tools menu, click Search Records. The Database Query Builder dialog box opens. 2.Configure a query to select specific records, or to return all records, leave the query with its default settings. 3.In the Send Results To list select one of the following: •Grid View (Embedded). Returns query results to the embedded view. •Grid View (Standalone). Returns query results to the standalone view. 4.Click Execute. Query results are returned to an embedded grid or a standalone grid.
