EventPro Software User Manual

Some of your EPConnect pages will contain Grids, which display information from EventPro, organized under Columns that you select.

(Remember: These instructions will not be relevant for all Pages, as not all Pages will contain Grids.)

 

Grids (called Form Column Grids, in full) are hard-coded for certain Page Definitions, meaning that you can't delete an existing grid or add a new grid.

However, you can add, edit, and delete the Form Columns, determining which are displayed in a Form Column Grid.

 

While the Form Columns available in each Page Definition are different, the processes of adding, editing, and deleting a Form Column are essentially the same for most pages.

As noted earlier, Form Columns are contained within Form Column Grids, which are nested within Page Definitions, and then Area Definitions. You first need to open the relevant Area Definition, then Page Definition, and then Form Column Grid to access its Form Columns.

2.A new Form Column edit form appears.
