Are GridMate grids supported on the Salesforce Mobile App?

Absolutely! Here's what we recommend:

  • Duplicate the existing grid in your Salesforce Org. This duplicated grid should be specifically configured for access by mobile users.
  • Set a unique name that clearly identifies it as a mobile-friendly grid.

There are two key considerations when it comes to accessing grids on mobile devices:

Set the width for each column – This allows users to scroll horizontally.

Refer to column width specification here.

Set the height of the grid – This enables vertical scrolling.

Refer to the height specification here.

Note: We will be introducing a new component called ‘Mobile Grids’, which will be optimized specifically for mobile phones.

If I install the GridMate package for all users, do I need to assign GridMate permission set(s) for each new user going forward?

Yes. The GridMate permission sets grant access to Apex classes, Visualforce pages, objects, and other components. When you first install the package and choose “Install for All Users,” these settings are automatically applied to existing users.

However, when new users are added later, you must manually assign the appropriate permission set. GridMate access is managed entirely through permissions, so assigning the permission set is highly recommended.

GridMate User

This is the base permission set required for any user who needs access to GridMate components (except User Grids). It includes object and field access, as well as Apex classes. Each GridMate user should have this permission.

GridMate Advanced User

This permission set is used to grant access to User Grids. Its purpose is for advanced users who require permission to create their own grids.

GridMate Admin

This permission set is used for Business Analysts to have access to the config wizard, inline configuration and SOQL Preview buttons. It's applicable only if they don't have access to the setup.

GridMate Cockpit User

The GridMate Cockpit User permission set allows users to manage all GridMate settings in one place - including grid-level field access, action controls, and component visibility. It grants access to the Cockpit tab and its features.

Is there a partner agreement?

Yes, it’s a straightforward agreement that outlines the roles, expectations, and rewards of our affiliate partnership. It helps keep everything clear and aligned, while protecting everyone’s interests.
