Grid

A grid is the most common arrangement in AAC. As expected, the OS-DPI Grid component organizes data into rows and columns. In order for the Grid to know how to arrange the data, you will need to add Filters specifying which column to pull from in your spreadsheet. To add a Filter, select Add --> Filter from the top menu bar. Then, select from the dropdown menu to specify the Field (denoted with a # and then column name).

Grids can look like this 6x6 grid with text and an icon.
