The Pivot Grid control provides four areas where the data source fields can be located. These areas are: Data Header Area, Column Header Area, Filter Header Area and Row Header Area. Fields located within these areas are called Data , Column , Filter and Row fields, respectively. End-users can change the field’s location or order via drag-and-drop.

Field Location Areas

The visibility of these areas is controlled by the pivot grid’s view options. To access these options, use the ASPxPivotGrid.OptionsView property.

A field’s location is specified by its PivotGridFieldBase.Area property. Its PivotGridFieldBase.AreaIndex property specifies the field’s position (order) among the other fields that are displayed within the same area.

By default, fields can be located within all areas. The PivotGridFieldBase.AllowedAreas property specifies in which areas the field can be displayed.
