The data function provides a tabular view of entity records. This feature can also be used to create front-end editing capability by linking the data to a WPAS submit form.
Creating Data grids
Data grids are very useful to display entity records in a tabular format. Data grids provide more functionality compared to HTML forms. Users can sort, search, and export one or more records in different formats. WPAS data grids also offer a mobile view, ability to enable/disable user-selected columns, ajax based page navigation, and ability to create, update, and delete new records and more.
Datagrid tag function can be used to create advanced tabular displays without introducing complexity in entity or widget views
