To define Business Object Grid options:

1. Row colors and options:
   1. Click the Properties button.
   2. Define Row image/color Expressions for rows:

      2. Define the Expression:
      • Stored Expression: Click the Ellipses button to open the Expression Manager, and then select an existing stored Expression or create a new stored Expression. Stored Expressions can be reused in numerous places in CSM.

2. Select a column (Field) and define Grid options:

(Optional) Custom Column Title Title to show in the UI. By default, the column is the same name as the Field it represents. You might want the column name to be to different than the Field name (ex: More user-friendly) Width Select on what to base the column width, either based on the Field length (so that it does not get truncated) or an absolute specified value. Based on Field Automatically sizes the column width to the actual length of the Field. Value Defines an actual character width, and then specify the value. This Column Takes up All Remaining Space on the Grid Automatically sizes the column to take up all remaining space on the Grid Default to Sorting by this Column Defaults to sorting the Grid by the selected column (in other words, when the Grid is first displayed, this column will determine the sort order of the Grid). By default, it is in ascending order (select the Descending check box to make it descending order). A sorting arrow () appears in the Grid header to indicate that the column is the default sorting column. Note: Only one column can be the default for the Grid. The Search Group default sorting overrides this default. Users can also manually change the sorting General Incident Grid Settings Despite these settings, Users also need security rights to customize Grids.

Allow Users to Add and Remove Available Fields from Grid Allows Users with rights to add and remove available Fields to the Grid.

Based on System Default (Yes or No): Ability to show Group By box is based on the default Grid display settings (defined in Blueprint>Tools>Options).
