A Selection Grid is a table of columns and rows listing related records.
There are many areas in EventPro where you view records in Selection Grids.
Selection Grid in List View
For example, you will find selection grids in all the various "List" areas: Event List, Company List, Invoice List, Reports, and so on.
Many of these selection grids will have a side-panel detail view that you can choose to show or hide. For more information, see the topic Show/Hide Detail View.

Selection Grid in Edit Form
Sometimes a selection grid will appear in the bottom half of a screen or edit form.
For example, in a Company record, the Company Contacts tab at the bottom of the window contains a selection grid displaying the Contact records.

Many Find Dialogs and Find Panels contain selection grids.

Adjusting Selection Grids
A Selection Grid allows you to view a portion of information about each record without requiring you to open up each record individually.
Selection grids provide a convenient way to skim through information quickly, particularly if you have the relevant information displayed on the grid.
It is especially important to have the relevant columns displayed when you are searching for a record in a selection grid.
As noted earlier, EventPro's Search or Find function searches the visible columns in a selection grid. Review the topic Find Records.
You can adjust and sort selection grids to display the information you consider important, so that you can view and find records efficiently.
See the topics below for the different ways you can manipulate selection grids to better display the information you want:
•Sort Records by Multi Columns
•Resize, Move, Best Fit Columns
For additional information about filtering selection grids, see the topic Filter Selection Grids.
