Creating a Hierarchical (Master-Detail) Grid

You can create a hierarchical grid using the C1DataGrid Web Part. A hierarchical grid is one that displays two sets of information at the same time, the "master" (or "parent") and the "detail" (or "child"). They are logically linked by key fields. The detail information is not displayed by default; an arrow will appear in the record selector column (far left column of the grid) that is used to display the information.  

In this example, the List of State Capitals is the Master List, and the List of College Endowments is the Detail List. When you click on the arrow next to a State, the list of colleges with endowments in that state displays. 

To create a hierarchical grid (Master-Detail relationship)

1. Create a basic DataGrid. (See Using the C1DataGrid Web Part.) 
2. Open the On-Board Designer. (See Using the On-Board Designer.)
3. Click the Detail tab on the left.
4. Click the Data Source tab and select a List.
5. Select the Enable Detail View check box, then choose the:         
   • Master Column 
   • Detail Column

    

6. Click the Save Web Part button.

Now your grid will display an arrow that users can click on to see the information from the Detail List.
