    • Required fields are outlined in orange; optional fields are outlined in blue
    • For fields with rich text enabled, the rich text editor opens when you edit those fields
    • Items remained locked until you discard or save your changes, or until you manually break the lock or the lock expires
    • If an error icon: image appears in a field, select View Errors from the Actions list
  6. Resize and Sort

    Resize rows and columns by dragging row and column separators, and click column headings to sort items.

    Choose from report options, depending on your privileges. The Back to Listing option exits the Editable Grid.

    Tip: If the report contains query-at-runtime parameters, you can choose Requery QAR parameters to reset the parameters for the report.
