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.
