GridLayout

Arranges fields in rows and columns. GridLayout gives you more control than FixedLayout over how fields are displayed by letting you span rows and columns, specify labels for individual fields, and layout fields in a row-by-row or column-by-column basis.

This value is not fully supported by the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client. You cannot span rows and columns by setting the RowSpan Property and ColumnSpan Property on fields because these properties are not supported.
