Data Object Grid

Data Object grids are used for all data object data pools in the portals. The actual available features of the data object grid depend on the configuration of the data object data pool. See data object pool configuration for details.

Navigation

The data object grid provides two options for navigating through the data objects:

• Navigation via Pimcore folder structure: The folder tree is based on Pimcore folder structure and depending on data pool workspace definition and user permissions. Clicking on a folder shows all elements located in this folder and any sub folders.
• Navigation via Pimcore tags: The tag navigation is based on a sub tree of the Pimcore tags tree. The root tag for the tag navigation is defined via data pool configuration. If user selects multiple tags, the result set contains all elements that have all selected tags assigned.

Filtering

In addition to the navigation options, the data object grid also supports filters to further filter the result set. The filters allow filtering based on system and data attributes of the data object and need to be configured. Single or multi select filter are available.
