Interactive Grid has so many options that to keep the number of declarative options from becoming overwhelming some options are only available through advanced configuration using JavaScript code. The same is true for column attributes. Keep in mind that the UI to access a feature Such as the Actions > Data > Flashback menu is separate from the feature. If you disable the feature the menu item is hidden. But just hiding, disabling, or removing the menu item or toolbar button doesn't disable the feature. Most features of Interactive Grid can be controlled through APIs and configurable option properties. See the JavaScript API documentation for details.

This example disables the Single Row View option of the grid view (See the Advanced: JavaScript Code attribute). In addition the Notes column overides the declarative options to not allow sorting or aggregation but still allow control break. (See the NOTES column Advanced: JavaScript Code attribute).

You should use the declarative setting if there is one and only use JavaScript configuration when there is no declarative setting or if the settings must be made conditionally.
