Modern Smart Grid

Modern Smart Grid brings a fast, modern, Excel-style editing experience to Microsoft Dataverse and Power Apps model-driven applications.

Users can create and update related records directly within a configurable grid, reducing repetitive form navigation and making high-volume data maintenance faster and easier.

• Inline editing of Dataverse records

• Excel-style inline record creation

• Multi-row editing

• Server-side column sorting

• Lookup field editing

• Automatic or manual saving

• Clear visual warnings for unsaved changes

• Configurable required fields

• Configurable read-only fields

• Refresh the grid without refreshing the complete form

• Server-side paging with up to 20 records per page

• Horizontal scrolling for views containing many columns

• CSV template download and CSV import

• Quick actions to open a record, save changes, or copy the record URL

• Responsive Fluent-style interface

• Support for standard and custom Dataverse tables

The columns displayed by Modern Smart Grid are controlled through the Dataverse view configured for the subgrid. Existing Dataverse security roles and table privileges continue to determine which records and operations are available to each user. The solution does not grant users additional access to Dataverse data.

Modern Smart Grid is primarily designed for browser-based model-driven apps. It can also operate on mobile devices, with further mobile layout improvements planned for future releases.

One activation key licenses Modern Smart Grid for an entire Dataverse environment. The control may be configured on multiple forms and tables within that licensed environment. A license key cannot be reused in another organization or environment.

To request a trial activation key, visit:

or

Select Modern Smart Grid and provide your company name, business email address, Dataverse Organization ID, and Environment URL. The activation key will be delivered to the supplied business email address.

After installation, enter the activation key in the Modern Smart Grid component properties. If the key is missing, invalid, expired, or registered for another environment, the control displays a licensing message instead of enabling its licensed functionality.

Modern Smart Grid communicates with Microsoft Dataverse through supported platform APIs. The only external communication is with the Simetrix Consult licensing service for license validation.
