To add Grid Display to a page.
1. Click on the Site Actions menu and select Edit Page. The page is placed in Edit Mode.
2. Click on the Add a Web Part link in the zone where you want to place the Data Display. A list of available web parts is displayed.
3. Select CorasWorks Grid from list of available components, then click OK to add it to the page.
When the Grid is added onto the page, the Display Wizard will automatically open. This gives you the opportunity to add a new view to the Grid. A number of preconfigured views are available, and you must select one in order for data to appear within the component.
The following help topics describe how to configure the display to show exactly the information you need.
NOTE: The WSP folder of the zip file downloaded from CorasWorks contains a sub-folder called “Displays for SharePoint Lists.” This sub-folder contains a Grid Display component for each of the standard SharePoint lists. Each component is pre-configured with two views. One is the standard empty view that is included with all Data Displays. The other is an “All Items” view that will immediately show any available data in the corresponding SharePoint list on the current site. To use one of these Grid Display components:
