Grid Settings in AGrid Configuration covers grid details and are divided into three main sections:

  • Grid Controls

  • Grid UI

  • Card View UI

  • Auto Refresh

In an AGrid Configuration, you will find these features under the "Grid Settings" tab as the first tab from the left.

Grid Controls

In this settings section, you have control over the following key feature settings:

  • Sorting: In this section, you'll find the following fields for sorting: Sort Level and Default Sorting.
    a. Sort Level: You have the flexibility to create up to three levels for sorting your columns as per your preference.
    b. Default Sorting: When creating, you can specify the fields that should be sorted by default.

  • Partial Save: Enable to process inline edit save action as a Partial Save, offering flexibility.

  • Load All: Enable to permit end-users to load 2000 records at a time & the maximum limit is 10,000 records at a time for comprehensive data access.
    a. If the “Enable Group By” checkbox is enabled, then you will not be able to use this feature.

Grid UI

AGrid's default appearance features visible borders for row and column width. Under these settings, you'll find the following options:

  • Use Default Border Thickness: This checkbox allows you to maintain the default border thickness displayed by AGrid.

  • Row Border Thickness: Use this slider to customize the thickness of the grid's row borders.

  • Column Border Thickness: Adjust the thickness of the grid's column borders using this slider.

  • Border Preview: Preview the border thickness to ensure it meets your preferences.

Card View UI

Within these settings, you can determine the number of fields visible in the collapsed mode for Mobile devices. Simply adjust the value in the "Default Columns in Card View" field to specify the desired number of fields to be displayed.

Auto Refresh

In an AGrid Configuration, you will now find the new "Auto Refresh" feature under the "Grid Settings" tab as the first tab from the left.  

  • This feature allows you to automatically refresh the Salesforce page after performing actions on the end-user side, providing a seamless user experience. 

  • By eliminating the need for manual page refreshes, the Auto Refresh feature enhances productivity by allowing users to focus on their tasks without interruption. 

  • Enabling the linked Configurations with this option will be helpful because upon redirection from one AGrid Configuration to another, you can see the updates without a manual refresh.  
    a. For example, scenarios like launching another AGrid or having more than one AGrid Configuration, such as the Grand Child-related records on the same page.
