# Group Grids A grid is a layout for a page or a part of the page of the OpenProject application. It defines the structure (number of rows and number of columns) as well as the contents of the page. The contents is defined by `GridWidget`s. While a `GridWidget` is it's own type, it is not a resource in it's own right as it is an intrinsic part of a `Grid`. Depending on what page a grid is defined for, different widgets may be eligible to be placed on the grid. The page might also define the permissions needed for accessing, creating or modifiying the grid. Currently, the following pages employ grids: + /my/page: The my page every user has. Only a user can access or modify their "my page". *The delete action is not yet supported* ## Actions | Link | Description | Condition | |:-------------------:| -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | | updateImmediately | Directly perform edits on this grid | **Permission**: depends on the page the grid is defined for | | update | Validate edits on the grid via a form resource before commiting | **Permission**: depends on the page the grid is defined for | ## Linked Properties | Link | Description | Type | Constraints | Supported operations | Condition | | :-----------: | -------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------- | --------------------- | -------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | | self | This grid | Grid | not null | READ | | | page | The url of the page the grid is defined for | url | not null | READ / WRITE | The page cannot be changed after the creation | ## Local Properties | Property | Description | Type | Constraints | Supported operations | Condition | | :----------: | --------------------------------------------------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | -------------------- | -------------- | | id | Grid's id | Integer | x > 0 | READ | | | rowCount | The number of rows the grid has | Integer | x > 0 | READ/WRITE | | | columnCount | The number of columns the grid has | Integer | x > 0 | READ/WRITE | | | widgets | The set of `GridWidget`s selected for the grid | []GridWidget | | READ/WRITE | The widgets cannot overlap | | createdAt | The time the grid was created | DateTime | | READ |   | | updatedAt | The time the grid was last updated | DateTime | | READ |   | ## GridWidget Properties | Property | Description | Type | Constraints | Supported operations | Condition | | :----------: | --------------------------------------------------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | -------------------- | -------------- | | identifier | The kind of widget | String | not null | READ/WRITE | | | startRow | The row the widget starts at (1 based) | Integer | x > 0, x < rowCount of the grid, x < endRow | READ/WRITE | | | endRow | The row the widget ends.
