Single Row – Checkbox
This option is applicable to tables shown on screens in Form Mode. It is used to flag specific fields in a table of records so that when an individual record in the table is selected, any fields that are flagged with this option will be displayed separately in single rows along the bottom of the table. For example, if a table’s field has the 'Single Row' checkbox checked in the Lite Editor, the field will appear as a single row under the table and the field’s value will be populated according to the record selected in the table, as shown in the screenshot above.
NOTE: This option is not supported in Table Mode and if enabled on a field will result in the column not being displayed in the table.
New Row – Checkbox
Applicable to fields in a field area, not in tables; only the first fields of a row have this checkbox checked; if a row’s first field has its ‘New Row’ box unchecked, the row’s fields will be appended to the end of the previous row; for a field that is not first in a row, if its ‘New Row’ box is checked, the field and the fields to its right will be moved to a new row.
Free-Form Row – Checkbox
This checkbox is used to set a row to a free-form row or grid row; for details, please refer to the previous subsection, Lite Editor - Free Form Rows, Grid Rows & Grid Columns.
Link with Previous Field – Checkbox
This option is relevant after adding a new custom field of the text type via the [Add Field] button’s pop-up, with pre-defined values entered via the [Valid Data] button’s pop-up. For details, please refer to the Lite Editor - [Add Field] - Button section in this guide.
If a new custom field of the text type has pre-defined values entered for it via the [Valid Data] button, the Text field will be a drop-down list, listing the entered values, and a display-only field will be placed to its right to display the description of its selected value, as follows:
These two types of fields should be linked by checking this box for the display-only field on the right. Linked fields are placed closer to each other, as shown below, and if the linked fields are in a grid row, the linked fields will be placed in the same grid column.
Column Span
Applicable to fields of a grid row; this field’s value sets how many grid columns a field spans; for instance, if this value is “2”, the field will span over two grid columns.
