Changing the defaults of a datagrid

[zryip theSlug]

Hi Matthias,

I'm taking all remarks as opportunities to improve myself and my
products, so I was not offended 8-)

This was not the first time a DGH user was not aware of a DGH's
feature, so I will work on a different strategy for informing users
about what my products are doing.

As promised, here is a link to a new DGH lesson:

Best Regards,
