New run-time features allow the end-user to unleash additional power without additional
development.
The end-user experience is pivotal in a successful Web 2.0 application. We began
this area of Grid FX by listing out everything we found odd in existing grids from
a usability perspective and redesigning a grid component that gives decision makers
a level of control over data that hasn't yet been available.
FloatingBar
The Grid FX FloatingBar appears in an elegant and usable manner when the user hovers
over an editable area. Properties are presented to allow the customization of aesthetic
as well as functional aspects of the grid.
Data Editing
With Grid FX, end-users can easily insert, update and delete data using either in-place
data editing or customizable modal dialog data editing. Either option allows for
an intuitive method of end-user manipulation of data.
Grouping, Sorting and Filtering
End-users need to be able to efficiently manipulate and digest data in order to
make key business decisions. Grid FX allows these users to group, sort and filter
their data in any way their needs dictate.
Interactive Thumbnails
Grid FX can display image thumbnails and allow the end user to expand it to full
size at runtime, by hovering or clicking. Similarly, charts can be shown as icons
or thumbnails and can also expand to full size on demand.
