A grid view is automatically a driving view

when 

when any filter expressions in a second grid view reference it by name.

To make a grid view dependent upon the driving view, set up a Filter which uses at least one condition with an expression containing the driving view's name. e.g. Business. An example condition expression is shown below, Name is an Attribute in the driving view:

BusinessName equals BUSINESS.NAME
