The Fields and Groups page allows you to manage and customize both fields and groups. New fields and groups can be quickly positioned into one of four areas: Data, Row, Column, and Filter header areas.

Collection Editor

The Collection Editor dialog displays pivot grid areas, fields and groups in a hierarchical view and allows you to add, remove and reorder fields and groups.

The Collection Editor allows you to move pivot grid fileds/groups between areas using drag and drop. The green arrow () indicates a group/area where the dragged item will be placed. The blue up arrow () indicates a position where the dragged item will be placed. The blue down arrow () indicates an item after which the dragged item will be placed.

Item Properties

The Item Properties pane allows you to specify properties of the selected pivot grid field/group.

Button Pane

The Button Pane displays the buttons that are used to manage Pivot Grid’s fields and groups.
