Grid as a Visualforce Page

• The Grid operates through a Visualforce page. For more information about the elements of a Grid Visualforce Page, see Manually Updating a Grid VisualForce page.
• Grid Visualforce pages are where component values are set. For example, if a System Administrator wants to disable the View Drop Down or the Edit/Save button on a Grid for all users, it is done in the Visualforce page. Grid Views
• The Grid View is a custom Object created in Salesforce and determines what fields, filters, Conditional Formatting Rules, and other information appear on the Grid. Whenever a Grid View is created, a new record is created under the Grid View object. Users can take this View ID and add it to the ViewID section of the Visualforce page to have that Grid automatically load that specific view as a default. For more information, see Hard-Code a Default View using a View ID.
• The Grid View object is accessible in Salesforce, or through Grid Explorer, and all Views created are visible based on Salesforce Object Permissions.
• Grid views contain a Privacy field that determines what users can access the View. The default Privacy value is Private, but users can set it as Public or Public Read-Only.
• Grid Views set to Private are typically only visible to the User that created the view. However, this is overridden by any User that has Shared Visibility to the View or has access granted via Role Hierarchy. See the Sharing Settings for Conga Grid View to learn more.
• Grid Views contain a Context field which determines if the view is available for a Visualforce Page and the Grid Explorer, or if the view is only available for a related list Grid on a Page Layout. A view with the Context "Page Layout" is only available for Related List Grids, not the Grid Explorer.
