•When the Grid Edit pane is located on a tab presentation, a Contents Exists indicator 
might be displayed on the tab when the grid table contains items.
•Only the first Grid Edit, Multi Select, or Notes Edit pane on the tab presentation (as determined by tab order) is evaluated for the Contents Exist indicator. A Warning indicator takes precedence over a Contents Exist indicator.
•Grid Edit panes do not necessarily permit editing. If that is the case, the icon beside the check box on each row is the navigation icon, and selecting on it will go to a page showing the object the row is for. If the row object does not have a presentation (or has one that is not readable by the current user), there will be no icon at all in the grid for that row.
•Navigating to a different page causes a warning about any unsaved changes. A warning also appears if there are any unsaved changes when the 
button is selected.
•Selecting and the OK button in the warning pop-up can be used to discard any changes that have been made on the page and returns it to its initial retrieved state.
