Hello Scriptcase Champions,
Keep Pushing Forward with January’s Advanced Scriptcase Tips! 🌟**
Jamie here!
As January comes to a close, let’s take a moment to celebrate all the hard work you’ve put in this month. You’ve been building, debugging, and creating amazing apps—and I couldn’t be prouder of this incredible community.
To keep the momentum going, here’s an advanced tip to level up your Scriptcase game!
Advanced Tip: Nested Grids with Drill-Down Insights
Take your data presentation to the next level by embedding nested grids with drill-down functionality. This advanced technique allows users to click on a row and instantly view related data in a child grid.
How To Do It:
- Create the Parent Grid: Build a grid application as usual. Ensure the primary key for each row is included.
- Build the Child Grid: Create another grid application displaying related data based on the parent grid’s key.
- Link the Two Grids: Go to the parent grid’s Fields > Links section, and create a link to the child grid. Pass the primary key as a parameter.
- Enable Drill-Down: Under Grid Settings, enable drill-down mode for seamless navigation.
Pro Tip:
Customize the child grid’s design to fit neatly within the parent grid for a polished, professional look. Use conditional formatting to highlight critical data points dynamically.
Take It Further:
Add dynamic filters to your parent grid, allowing users to slice and dice data on the fly before drilling down into details. Combine this with AJAX reload for a smooth, interactive experience.
P.S. What’s been your biggest win this January?
