# Surf The Wave in Salesforce **Surf the Wave** is your workspace for using and managing **Valorx Grids** in Salesforce.\ From here, you can: * Work directly with grid data (just like in Excel) * Run actions on single or multiple records * Publish grids to Lightning pages or portals * Embed grids into Salesforce components and flows 💡 **Tip:** To use Surf the Wave, you’ll need at least one grid created in **Grid Wizard**.\ Once it’s ready, you can edit data, and run actions — all from this tab.

*** ## **1. Understanding the Grid Interface** ### **Grid Object Bar** Use the Object Bar to quickly access your recently used objects without leaving the Grid Screen * The **Grid Selection Drop-down** updates based on the object selected in the **Object Bar**. * Selecting a new object updates the drop-down to show the relevant grids associated with that object. For example, if you select the **Accounts** object in the **Object Bar**, the **Grid Selection Drop-down** will display all available **Account grids**, such as **All Accounts**. This will allows you to switch between available grids without leaving Surf the Wave.
## **2. Grid Actions & Row Actions** * [**Grid Action Buttons**](https://docs.valorx.com/valorx-wave/wave-experience/create-a-new-grid/grid-wizard-in-salesforce#add-grid-action)**:** Perform actions that apply to the grid. * [**Row Action Buttons**](https://docs.valorx.com/valorx-wave/wave-experience/create-a-new-grid/grid-wizard-in-salesforce#add-row-action)**:** Run actions on a single record, like updating fields or launching a Flow.
## **3. Working with Data** you can manage and update records in real time: * **Edit directly** in the grid, just like a spreadsheet. * Use [**Filters**](https://docs.valorx.com/valorx-wave/wave-data-management/managing-grid-data/filter)**,** [**Sorting**](https://docs.valorx.com/valorx-wave/wave-data-management/managing-grid-data/sort)**,** [**Grouping**](https://docs.valorx.com/valorx-wave/wave-data-management/managing-grid-data/group)**, and** [**Conditions**](https://docs.valorx.com/valorx-wave/wave-data-management/managing-grid-data/condition) to focus on the right data. * Use [**Mass Modifier**](https://docs.valorx.com/valorx-wave/wave-data-management/managing-grid-data/mass-modifier) to update multiple records at once. * Save your changes and see them instantly reflected in Salesforce.
