Grid Features

The database grid provides many great features to allow you to easily and efficiently work with your iFIX data. The grid will always show and configure the currently active iFIX database for the node you are connected to. An example of the grid is displayed in the following figure.

When the active database changes from anywhere, the grid should notify you and ask you to refresh. If at any time you believe it is out of date due to concurrent changes from other locations, the toolbar contains a refresh icon to re-fetch the latest updates. The database grid panel works closely with the Details panel.

Ensure you have the Details panel open and visible as you work in this panel. As tag rows are selected within the grid, the tag details are displayed and are editable inside the Details panel.
