Nested Grid in Grid Details

I have a nested grid which works well, but because it contains multiple document names, can be quite large. I want to put this grid on the DETAIL page of my main grid, but it shows up there as a label and nothing else. I’ve noticed some older questions on this without answers. Is this something that can be done?

Dus you try to set the main grid as slide and then place the nested grid in a separate block?

No…I will try that! Thanks.

Tried it. It really doesn’t help getting it off the main page. I guess nested blocks are either main page or nothing. It’s too bad because it takes up a great deal of real estate.

Have you tried placing the nested grid ‘in one column’ (Nested grid -> Settings -> Position) and enabling Treeview (Nested grid -> Settings -> Enable TreeView)?

Put the column that is created for the nested grid all the way to the right side of the parent grid. It will show an icon that will let users expand it, but it will be collapsed when it first loads. Make sure to add the column to the displayed columns in the Detail -> Settings. When you click into the details the full nested grid will be displayed.

I tested what would happen if I moved the column to “Fields not shown” but while it showed the column name in the detail view, it didn’t populate the nested grid or its data, so it looks like you need to keep the column displayed in the parent grid.

Interesting. Will give it a try.
