TEXT SCRAMBLING in TRIAL VERSION OUTPUT! In evaluation mode, Help & Manual will scramble individual characters in random words in your published output files. This is a limitation of the free trial version. This help system was created with an evaluation copy of Help & Manual.


 

Data grids are used throughout PDQ Deploy. They have a number of customizable features that will help you use and organize data and elements in the software.

Data grids are organized into rows and columns. Each column has a number of properties that can be customized. Right-clicking a column header gives you access to many of the features of each grid as well as the Edit Columns window.

With UNREGISTERED EVALUATION VERSION, the customizations made to the data grids are independently tied to each user.
