What's New in v2.2?

• New Feature:  You can now choose a data grid option instead of just the HTML Template options. This feature allows you to also select which columns you would like to display in the grid, define a unique CSS Class for each row and alternating row, etc.  Get started much more quickly without having to create custom templates.
• New Feature: You can now choose to use multi-line textboxes rather than Rich  Text Editors for working with templates. This can be useful if you are creating unique templates with JavaScript and other CSS/HTML and the Rich Text Editor is difficult to work with.
• Detail View Enhancements: Display each views detail record within a pop up via jQuery/AJAX modal pop up.
• Search Enhancements: Optionally hide all search fields – This feature allows you to pass in the search items from other pages or utilize Dynamic Forms or other modules to create more robust search options.
