Grid Designer

In this topic, we continue our discussion of the Underlying tab, encountered when creating a New Submission.

You can use Grid Designer to alter the grid shown on the Underlying tab. You can add columns to the grid and control the width of the column, that is, the maximum number of characters that the column can contain. Additionally, you can provide a name for each column that appears in the grid.

In the table below, we describe the function of the buttons shown in the Grid Designer dialog box.
