Provides a tabular representation of the current object and other objects of the same type. Properties relevant to the object display in separate cells, each with a text entry area, check box, or drop-down control for selecting available values. The amount of space allocated to the Navigation Grid can be adjusted by moving the splitter bar up and down. Columns within the Navigation Grid can be readjusted to be narrower or wider. Once you change a field, when you go to another field, the value is saved. If you click the Cancel button, it only cancels the change of the current field.
