2. On the left-hand side are all of the modules. If you click on a module, it will show you all of the data grids that are available to you within that module. Note: The modules you see are based on the permission given by the system administrator.

5. You must be in the same module as the data grid to be able to edit records within that data grid.

6. If you click on a different module.

7. And go to a data grid within that module.

8. The options to edit will be grayed out.
Note: There are data grids that are available to all modules i.e. General data grids. Also, while you cannot edit records in other modules, you can still filter/view the records in the data grid.
