Data grid operations

Operations such as (delete, reassign, unlock etc) and links (open, view history, load last answer etc) are available in Infiniti Dashboard Projects when using an Infiniti Data source with the Datagrid display type.

 

• In the Display Fields for a data grid of the right type two additional fields will appear
  ⋅⋅ Link - this is a drop-down with only a couple of options (eg: Launch Project, Launch History etc) that vary from the data object to data object. Adding a Link to a display field will cause a link to that behavior to appear on the display field when the data grid appears in Produce. 
  ⋅⋅ Operations Dropdown - this is a checkbox which when selected causes a dropdown to appear in the selected display field column of the data grid in Produce. The drop-down only appears if there is an operation available on that line of the data object, and only available operations will appear - possible operations include Delete, Reassign, Unlock etc.
• The appropriate selections must be made when adding or updating the Display Field item. If Links are available a column will appear to show which Display Field the link is attached to and which Link is attached.
• These options are only available for relevant data grids when the project type is Dashboard. These data grids and data sources can be used in Content project types, but the Links and Operations options will not appear.
• Links will appear on the text of any field of a Dashboard project data grid that has had a link type selected.
• When the link is clicked, the back button will return the user to the Dashboard project they came from
• Links may not appear if the current user does not have permission to link to that list item (eg: it is locked by another user etc)
• Operations appear as a drop-down in the selected field/column of any Dashboard project data grid that has had Operations Dropdown checked
• The form designer can't control what items appear in the Operations drop-down. Depending on the data object type the operations may vary - see the list below
• For User type data objects, the operations that appear are only those the current user can perform on the listed items. 
  *For Admin type data objects, all possible operations will appear but will not execute if the current user does not have permissions to perform those operations.
