> [!NOTE]
> **Note**
> 
> If you use a grid control for a field group:
> 
> - All fields of the field group must belong to the same workflow document record.
> - Only add the grid field group to the tab page.
> - You can only use grids for ten different tables in all data entry workflow templates. Reason: For grids, only ten temporary tables are available. If you use a grid for the same table in different workflows, only one temporary table is used.
> - Several records can be created in only one table. You cannot create several records in the related tables as well. An exception are the address and contact information for customers and vendors. These are multi-table entries, but can be entered in one grid. See also: [Configure step with wizard - Customer](/data-management/docs/configure-step-with-wizard-customer) and [Configure step with wizard - Vendor](/data-management/docs/configure-step-with-wizard-vendor).
  - **Standard**: The fields are shown as individual fields. In each field, you can enter only one value.
  - **Grid**: The fields are shown in a grid. You can enter several records in the field group. You can use a grid, for example, for a data entry workflow to create a customer or a vendor. In this case, you can use a grid to enter several types of contact information.
10. If the **Display method** is **Grid**, you can indicate whether entering information (at least one line) in the grid is mandatory.

Select **Yes** in the **Require at least one row** field.
