Grids are available as either a standalone GridBlox or nested within a PresentBlox. In either mode, users can drill, pivot, sort, and explore their data. A grid used in a PresentBlox, though, includes some additional functionality not available in the explicit GridBlox. The following table shows a summary of the key differences between standalone GridBlox and a nested GridBlox:
| Functionality | Standalone GridBlox | Nested GridBlox (within PresentBlox) |
|---|---|---|
DataLayoutBlox |
Requires standalone DataLayoutBlox, using same DataBlox |
Made available using PresentBlox dataLayoutAvailable |
PageBlox |
Requires standalone PageBlox, using same DataBlox |
Available by setting pageAvailable to true |
ChartBlox |
Requires standalone ChartBlox, using same DataBlox |
Grid automatically synchronizes with chart. Chart can be made available. |
Since the functionality listed above is available by using a PresentBlox, the majority of the time you want to give access to users to this functionality.
