Question

I would like to create a data entry form in Drupal 7 that is similar to Filemaker’s List View. List View is a view that contains many records on a page. When Submit button is clicked, data entered in the fields will be assigned to the individual records.
For example, I have a list of students’ names and a column field of grade type. The student’s name will be created from Drupal View’s filtering, but the grade field will be empty waiting for me to key in.
What is the proper Drupal’s module that can enable this functionality? Or what can I do to create this functionality.

Answer 1

This approach is closer to your original request, im testing this out now and I think it should more than do the trick, much more interestingly too.
http://drupal.org/project/slickgrid

Edit:
I highly recommend trying this its awesome!!

A couple quick tips
Be sure to also install http://drupal.org/project/title so you can reset the title (make it a field), Basically with this editor you can only edit actual fields, so same goes for location module, you’ll need to use the field option rather than node option.

One possible downer, at least for my site, it appears the drupal module does not support jquery 1.7 which my site uses, so a few buttons etc don’t work as expected, also the drupal module does not support the latest slickgrid release either. I’d like to look into fixing that but I dont have the time just yet, possibly someone will before long. If jquery 1.7 is not required for your site then none of that will be a problem for you.
