About DataGrids
DataGrids are a fundamental feature on most pages of the platform, DataGrids present your data to you in a structured, grid-like format. As the name suggests, each DataGrid is a grid of data that organises and displays a specific type of information.
Each DataGrid shows a specific set of data for a different aspect of your platform, here are some example DataGrids:
Users DataGrid: Allows you to view and manage information about Users, including their personal information, their roles, number of Courses, and latest booking.
Courses DataGrid: Allows you to view and manage information related to Courses, such as Course names, start & end dates, assigned Trainers, and Delegate numbers.
Discounts DataGrid: Allows you to view and manage information about your discounts, including discount codes, expiration dates, and whether the discount will apply automatically.
You can add, remove, and re-order columns and sort your data in the order that you want in order to display the information most useful for you. DataGrids have been applied to almost every section of the platform, meaning there is a huge opportunity to leverage the information you need.
Learn how to use the Search, Edit Column, Filter, Bulk Edit and Export features of a DataGrid.
