This section compares the different ways grouped rows can be displayed in the grid.

Row Grouping performs a GROUP BY operation to the 'flat' list of rows provided to the grid, where the rows are grouped by one or more columns. The Display Types listed below are only concerned with how the results of Row Grouping are displayed in the grid.

If the rows supplied to the grid do not need to be grouped by the grid, consider using Tree Data instead.

Single Group Column

A single group column is added to the grid which displays all row groups.
