FAQ’s

Why are some columns not available in my DataGrid?

Each DataGrid is linked to a specific table of information; some are course-based, some are User-based, some are Trainer/Resource-based, and each DataGrid has its own information that you can choose to include or hide as columns.

If there are any columns that you would like to see within a DataGrid that are not currently available, please log a product suggestion for this.

What are Smart Grids?

Smart Grids contain Delegate, Placeholder, Booking, Award, Purchase and Trainer Confirmation related DataGrids. Within this section, you will be able to manage all Delegates within your platform as well as manage Awards and view historic bookings. Read more about Smart Grids.

Why is my DataGrid taking so long to load?

This is typically due to the volume of data that your DataGrid is trying to load, if you have a lot of columns included and a lot of rows, this can be quite a big request! Try reducing the number of columns and rows to optimise your DataGrid.

Why is my DataGrid search taking so long to complete?

This is typically due to the number of fields selected in the search criteria, click on the down arrow next to your DataGrid Search to adjust your criteria. The less options you select the more efficient and more precise your search will be!

I’ve set up a DataGrid Filter for ‘Next 6 Months' but no info from the current month is showing, why is this?

The DataGrid Filter will consider the Last 6 months to be the previous six Months, and exclude the current month.

If you need to include the current month, a ‘Between’ filter will be more useful.
