Remote database ids and actions

The following example shows a few important concepts.

How to load the data with IDS that are not shown to the user;
How to create custom data grid columns, in this example adding icon with actions;
Get a new remote id every single row added to the system;

NOTE: the example handles with one new line, but you can interact to get more ids in case more than one rows are added
