Adding and Editing Quick Grid JavaScript Files

Note:  Users with the user roles listed to the right must also have the Template Access user role.

Using JavaScript, associate functions with cell events, such as on mouse over, within a quick grid cell. Save the JavaScript functions used in quick grids in a JavaScript library file that is saved for an individual grid if only one grid uses those functions, or at a global level if multiple grids use the functions.

It may improve performance to put some functions only in the local file, because if the global library file is large, it can affect the time it takes for the deliverable in the project to load.

Navigate to <server name>/help/quickgridapi/ for more information about base functions available and guidelines for writing your own functions.
