[IxDA Discuss] When to display grid in list view

[Juan Lanus]

Ryana,
I don't get your question well ... so I'll write about how I use grids.

I use grids for columnar listings, both in web and desktop
applications. IMO it replaces old printed business listings that
involve several data columns, like for example a bank account
statement.
To me, a grid is like the columnar listing of the interactive computer
in that it holds data columns, with the due differences: it accounts
for the user's font preferences, it's somehow resizable, it can be
copied and pasted elsewhere, etc. All, assuming it's well done.
