Managing Grid Views
Contents
After you close a grid, if you changed certain grid properties, you are prompted to save the properties to a grid profile. A grid profile captures: visibility and placement of fields, column width, and row height.
When you save a grid profile you give it a name and set its access level. The access level can be set to one of three levels:
•User - Available to the current user in the current case. Stored in the case folder structure ($UserData). A profile of this type may be deleted only by the user who created it.
•Shared - Available to any user in the LAW case in which the profile was created. If a profile is shared, LAW will automatically display "(Shared)" after the profile name. This profile is also stored in the case folder structure ($UserData). A profile of this type may be deleted by any user.
•Global - Available to any user in any LAW case. If a profile is global, LAW will automatically display "(Global)" after the profile name. Global profiles are stored in <application path>\Shared folder. A profile of this type may be deleted by any user.

The grid displays do not support Unicode. However, Unicode data can be displayed by resting your pointer over a cell containing Unicode. The Unicode data appears in a pop-up text box beside the cell. |
