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 Central Server, the customizations made to the data grids are independently tied to each user.
