Form Section Properties

Specify the name of the form section. The name may contain any characters including spaces. The name must be unique among the names of other form sections in the form.

Specify the description of the form section.

Specify the caption of the form section. By default it is the name of the business object that owns the form.

Specify the icon that will be displayed inside the tab representing the section in the Operation Mode (only for sections with random navigation order).

Specify a unique ID of the section. This ID can be used in the Tour feature.

You can specify that under a certain condition the form section should not be displayed. If the specified condition holds true the tab showing the section will not be displayed or (for wizard-style navigation) the section will be skipped during navigation. When specifying conditions you can only use attributes of the object whose form the section belongs to.

This is the similar to the Tour property of a form, except that the tour element is meant to explain what the form section is for.

Click on this property to display a “badge” for the tab representing the form section. A badge is a little icon on top of the tab usually showing a number (for example, a number of unread messages for the current user). This number is constantly refreshed – it can be changed by the rules and the number will then be displayed, When specifying badge properties you have to define an expression for the number (or text) displayed on the badge. You can then specify the background color of the badge as well as the refresh rate and tooltip.

For users who are familiar with Javascript this dialog allows specifying additional parameters when form sections are initialized and displayed. See Programmers Reference Guide for more details.
