This topic explains concepts like editable and non-editable cells, mandatory and non-mandatory cells, and common cell operations.

Editable and non-editable cells

Cells in the grid can be editable or non-editable. You can enter information only in the cells that are enabled for editing.

DataGrid

1 - Editable cells - data in editable cells which allow you to enter data is shown in black.

2 - Non-editable cells – Data in non-editable cells is shown in grey.

You can enter edit mode by double-clicking a cell or by pressing F2. If you enter edit mode, the entire row enters edit mode, and you can click the adjacent cells to enter data. An edit mode indicator shows that the row is in edit mode.

SHARED Tip You can press the ESC key to exit edit mode.

Mandatory and optional cells

  • Mandatory cells - Mandatory cells are marked with a red asterisk . You must enter data in mandatory cells to proceed to the next step to complete a process.

    When you copy data from the grid to an Excel sheet, sometimes Excel might not recognize the numbers as numbers because of spacing issues in the cells. For example, this problem happens with French settings. In French settings Char(160) is used as default space. However, Excel recognizes Char(32) as default space. Follow the steps below, if your computer is configured with French settings in Control Panel.

    1. Click Region and Language from Control Panel.

    2. Click Additional Settings...

    3. In the Digit grouping symbol box, backspace to remove the default space (char(160)) and then press space bar to add empty space (char(32)).

  • Paste data into a cell - You can paste data into a cell using the shortcut menu options available on a cell. Right-click a cell and click Paste to paste the copied data.

  • Insert copied rows into a data grid - To insert copied rows into a data grid, select the rows, right-click and click Copy on the context menu, right-click again and click Insert copied rows.

    SHARED Tip You can use Insert copied rows to insert rows copied from an Excel sheet.

  • Save - You can save the data on a page by clicking Save.
