Multi-Grid Manager uses dynamic tables to display information. The following section describe how to customize tables and how to select and edit their data.

Customizing Tables

You can customize tables by resizing columns, sorting the data, and selecting certain columns for display. Your settings remain active until you log out.
To resize columns in a table:

1. In the table, place your pointer on the right border of the header of the column you want to resize.
2. Drag the border to the desired width.

To sort the data displayed in a table, click the header title. You can click the header title again to reverse the sort order. Alternatively, you can do the following:

1. In the table, mouse over to a header title and click the down arrow key.
2. Select Sort Ascending or Sort Descending.

 To edit columns:

1. In the table, mouse over to a header title and click the down arrow key.
2. Select Columns > Edit Columns.
3. Do the following:
   • Width: Specify the width of the column in pixels. The minimum is five and the maximum is 999.
   • Sorted: Indicates whether the data in the column can be sorted
   • Visible: Click the checkboxes of the columns you want to display, and clear the checkboxes of those you want to hide.
4. Do one of the following:
   • Click Apply to apply your settings to the column.
   • Click Cancel to close the editor without saving your settings.
   • Click Reset to reset the settings to the default.
   Multi-Grid Manager displays the selected column in the table.

To reorder columns in a table, drag and drop the columns to the desired positions.

Selecting Objects in Tables

In a table, Multi-Grid Manager displays data on multiple pages when the number of items to be displayed exceeds the maximum number of items that can be displayed on one page. Use the navigational buttons at the bottom of the table to page through the display.
You can select multiple rows in a table. For example, in a Windows browser, you can do the following to select multiple rows:

• Use SHIFT+click to select multiple contiguous rows.
• Use CTRL+click to select multiple non-contiguous rows.
• Click the checkbox in the table header to select all rows on a page, as shown in 19282665. Multi-Grid Manager displays a message that indicates the total number of selected rows on the page. You can deselect a specific row by clearing its checkbox. You can also click a row (not the checkbox) in the table to select the item and deselect the others.

you can also click Select all objects in the dataset to select all rows in the entire table. You can then click Clear Selection to deselect the rows.
In a table, when you select all the objects for deletion, the objects that are not deleted from the database remain in the table after the operation is completed.

Modifying Data in Tables

Infoblox provides inline editing for certain fields in some tables. You can use this feature to modify data directly in a table instead of going through an editor.
To update information in a table, you must have read/write permission to the data. When you enter or select a new value, the appliance validates the data format before saving the updated data.
To modify data in a table:

1. From any panel that supports inline editing, double click the row of data that you want to modify. The appliance displays the inline editing editor in the selected row, as shown in 19282665.
2. Depending on the data type, enter the new data in the field or select an item from the drop-down list. Note that some fields are read-only.
3. Click Save to save the changes, or click Cancel to discard them.
