Grid UI Flexibility

7 Unique Grid View Types
The Xtra Grid can efficiently display data from a single data source or master-detail relationships of any complexity.

  • Standard Grid View - Emulates the look feel and behavior of the Microsoft® Outlook® grid and displays information using a standard table metaphor.
  • Banded Grid View - Provides extended layout and customization options for complex datasets. End-users can hide, show, reorder entire column sets instead of having to perform the same operation on each individual column.
  • Advanced Banded Grid View - Extends the Banded Grid View by allowing you to arrange column headers and corresponding data cells across multiple rows. It also allows you to create cells that occupy multiple rows.
  • Card-Contact View - Mimics the capabilities found in Microsoft Outlook's Contacts View and supports the following extended features: end-user card resizing, card auto-width, collapsible cards, card caption images, multiple card selection, etc.
  • Layout Grid View -Displays data records as cards with extended customization options and field layout choices so you can use form space more effectively.
  • Carousel Grid View - When using the Layout View, several card arrangement modes are available - from simple tabular display to 3D Carousel emulation.
  • Split Presentation View - Easily invoked using a context menu, the Split Grid Presentation feature allows you to divide the grid into two view regions separated by a splitter.
