Use the alternate rows function to display every other row in the grid in a different shade. This can make the grid more legible, and helps users to easily identify which row a cell belongs to. This is particularly useful when working with very large grids.
Note: Flat mode matrix grids are displayed with alternate rows by default, but alternate rows can be turned on or off for all matrix grids and raw results grids.
