• Keeping the CTRL button pressed allows for the selection of several rows.

Input Checks

Data is checked for correct format – E.g., whether it is a number

Boolean values in the Portlet are represented by Check-Boxes.

Filling Down Data

Value or Strings can be easily filled down in an Editable Grid: Click with the right mouse button into cell which should be copied to all other cells in the column below and choose "Fill down":

Increment Down

You can also choose a value which should be increased in each row. Choose the value, make a right-click and choose "Increment down"

Copy and Paste Data from/to an Editable Grid

The displayed data in an Editable Grid can be copied into a spreadsheet, such as MS Excel. There data can be edited and added.
Click the Copy/Paste button and a new window will open, where you can see the data from the current page of the grid. From there all the data can be easily copied to the spreadsheet. Use CTRL-A, CTRL-C and paste it.

You can now adapt the data. If you are done, copy the data out of the spreadsheet without the header, switch to the tab "Paste contents" and paste the data into the blank area. It is inevitable that the pasted data has the same structure as grid. Click "Insert Lines". The data will now be appended to the current data grid. Do not forget to save the grid afterwards!
