# Manage Grid in Wave Browser Extension

Easily create a custom grid in Wave Browser Extension to manage your Salesforce data in a **spreadsheet-like interface**. Creating a Custom Grid allows you to view specific records for an Object based on your needs. For example, you can create a Grid to:

* View **all leads with an attachment**.
* Display **opportunities in the chemical industry** with a **Pending Approval** status.

## 🛠️ Ways to Start Creating a Custom Grid

You can create a custom grid in several ways, depending on where you are in the Wave Browser Extension. While the entry point may vary, the setup process remains the same.

### **Home Screen**

* Click **Add New**, then select **Grid** from the popup (other options: Matrix, Reports, Import).
* Choose the **Object Name** from the available list or from the Most Popular list.

### **Grid Selection Dropdown**

* Navigate to the desired **Object tab** before creating a grid. For example, if creating a Grid for **Account**, click **Account** before selecting **Add New** from the Grids Selection Dropdown.
* Click **Add New**.

### **Objects with No Views**

* If an object doesn’t have any grids yet, you’ll see an **Add New** button—click it to get started.

### **Customize Standard Grid (Salesforce View)**

* Adding or removing fields on the grid.
* Applying sorting or filtering conditions.
* Then click on **Edit** button.

The first time you **apply sorting, filtering, or add/remove fields** in a **Standard Grid**, a **New Custom Grid** is automatically created. This ensures you have a dedicated version to work with whenever needed. A **toast notification** will appear, confirming the creation of the Custom Grid.

To update a Standard View grid, click the **Edit** button. This opens the [**Manage Grid**](/valorx-wave/wave-data-management/managing-grid-data.md#manage-grid) window where you can:

* **Rename** the grid and add a description.
* **Add** or **remove** fields.
* Enable or disable the [**Global Grid**](/valorx-wave/wave-data-management/managing-grid-data.md#global-grids-manage-access) option.
* Toggle the [**Refresh on Save**](/valorx-wave/wave-data-management/managing-grid-data.md#refresh-on-save) setting.

***Note**: The **Salesforce View** and **Start from Scratch** options are not available here, as you're modifying an existing Salesforce View layout.*

Any further modifications made using **Grid features** will be saved exclusively within this Custom Grid.

Your new **Custom Grid** appears in the Grids screen, marked with the **Custom Grid icon**.

***

## 🏷**Name Your Grid**

* By default, the grid name will be pre-filled as **Custom + \[Object Name] + Grid** (e.g., Custom Account Grid).
* If you enable the **Global Grid** option, the name will automatically change to **Global + \[Object Name] + Grid** (e.g., Global Account Grid).
* If you manually remove **Custom** from the grid name, **Global** will also be removed.

## 🧩 Choose Grid Setup Option

**In the Create Grid window, choose one of the following setup methods:**

* **Salesforce View (Default):**\
  Use a predefined Salesforce view. All fields in the view will be auto-populated. You can add or remove fields as needed.
* **Start from Scratch:**\
  Manually select the fields you want to include in your grid from the object’s field list.

### **Salesforce View (Default Option):**

* After selecting the object, **Salesforce View** is selected by default.
* Choose a **Salesforce View** from the dropdown list.
* All fields from the selected view will be displayed.
* You can **add** or **remove** fields as needed.
* Choose whether to set the grid as **global**. If enabled, the [**Manage Access**](/valorx-wave/wave-data-management/managing-grid-data.md#global-grids-manage-access) button will appear, allowing you to manage grid access.
* Optionally, enable the [**Refresh on Save**](/valorx-wave/wave-data-management/managing-grid-data.md#refresh-on-save) option to refresh the grid after saving.

### **Start from Scratch**

* Select **Start from Scratch** to manually choose fields for the grid.
* An **Object Fields List** window will appear. Select the fields you want to include in your grid.
* Click **Update Fields** to proceed.
* You can also enable the [**global grid**](/valorx-wave/wave-data-management/managing-grid-data.md#global-grids-manage-access) option and configure the [**Refresh on Save**](/valorx-wave/wave-data-management/managing-grid-data.md#refresh-on-save) setting.
