you have to override the _prepareCollection() method in your Grid.php file to add desired join conditions to entity collection.

Depending on entity type (EAV or Flat) you can use different join methods.

I suggest you to take inspiration from Magento itself; here are some files where you can look at to find some examples:

  • /app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Catalog/Product/Grid.php
  • /app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Customer/Grid.php
  • /app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Dashboard/Orders/Grid.php

After joining new fields remember also you have to add related columns by overriding the _prepareColumns() method.

Hope it helps.
