Grid views are one of the core components of the IMMS InfraLink user interface. Examples of such views include All Cases, Issue Monitor, Device/Equipment List, Spares, and many others. Such views typically display the broadest range of records of the particular kind (e.g., Cases, Assets, Locations, etc.) Additionally, they display certain attributes for each record and provide the ability to customize the data presentation using a combination of search, filters, column configuration, and custom sort order.
...
To effectively address these kinds of requirements, IMMS features InfraLink features enable Users to configure views for the display of a carefully filtered and well-structured data set, as discussed in detail below.

The lists of data columns may be quite long. To speed up the selection, use the search fields above each section to search column options by keyword. You may also use the collapse/expand controls to hide and show groups of available columns. You can drag and drop columns in the Selected Columns section to rearrange their position in your customized grid view. |

IMMS InfraLink column selection supports both standard and Custom Field data. When you add a custom attribute (i.e., Custom Field) to your custom view configuration, IMMS InfraLink will automatically add a corresponding filter widget to the Filter panel. For example, let's say your project is configured to include the Custom Field "Tenant POC" on all Issues. When you add the "Tenant POC" column to the view configuration, IMMS InfraLink will automatically add the corresponding filter widget to the bottom of the Filter panel, thus giving you the ability to filter records by that attribute. Furthermore, the kind of the filter widget added to the Filter panel depends on the data type for that column. For example, when you add a Custom Field defined as text, the corresponding filter will be a keyword filter. However, if the added column is a date field, the corresponding filter will be a date range filter. In most cases, the kind of the filter widget added will be intuitive and self-explanatory. |

For any data column that can be sorted, you can simply click on the column header to sort the data. Clicking on the same column header again will toggle the sort order between ascending and descending. The column header will display an up- or down-arrow indicating the sort order. |

- If a User opts to save a custom view configuration for future use, he/she will be given the option to share that custom view configuration with other Users. See Using Saved Views for more information.
- Combining the custom view configuration features with the Excel / CSV export functionality is the most effective way to export data from IMMS InfraLink and meet the project reporting requirements. See Exporting Data from Grid Views for more information.
