Possible actions on the grid input field

If a cell is filled with a document reference, this cell can not be edited with the text editor any more. The context menu on this cell shows actions to open the referenced document or to open a cmsExplorer focusing the document.

The column captions may be renamed by a double click.

Using the button "CSV" opens a dialog with a CSV-Presentation of the grid content. Carefully edit this text keeping an eye on the format. This editing tool allows a more powerful handling of the grid data. Multiple lines can easily be copied, moved or deleted or even handled with external text editors doing replacements or sorts.

If the result of the editing is not the expected one, the editing state can be canceled to fall back to the previous version of the document.
