Creating and editing a fixed repeating section

Create a section.
1. In the Project Explorer, select the Forms and Transactions Explorer bar.
2. In the Study Forms folder, right-click a form, and select New Section.
  The Object Name dialog box appears.
3. Fill in the fields as necessary, and click OK.
  The section is created and appears in the Project Explorer, and the Design tab of the Section Editor appears in the workspace.
In upper-right corner of the section editor, select the following checkboxes:
1. Repeating
2. Fixed.
Add one or more items to the section.
1. In the Project Explorer, select a form or section, and select the Design tab.
2. On the toolbar, click Columns, and display the columns that you need in the grid, including Codelist and Item Properties.
3. In the grid, create items on the form or section by typing values in each field. Press Tab to advance to the next field and, when you have reached the end of a row, to the next item.
  Your changes are saved after you move the cursor away from the row.
  
  Note: To type extended ASCII characters in text fields, press ALT while entering the decimal code for the character. You can also add HTML formatting characters to a text field to control its appearance when deployed.
4. To modify the properties of an item:
  1. In the Item Properties field, click Edit, or, on the toolbar, select Item Properties.
    The Item Properties dialog box appears.
  2. Define the properties of the item. The fields that appear in the dialog box depend upon the type of item that you select. These properties are also available on the Design tab for an item.
For each item that you want to define as a fixed item:
- Create a codelist.
- Create a codelist item.

In the <Fixed repeating section name> editor, do one of the following:
- In the upper-right corner, click the Fixed Table icon ().
- In the toolbar for the editor, click Fixed Table.
  Note: If there is more than one fixed repeating section on the form, the Fixed Table control in the toolbar for the editor is a drop-down list. If there is one fixed repeating section on the form, the Fixed Table control is a button.
The Edit Fixed Table dialog box appears.
In the Define Fixed Columns section, select the items to mark as fixed.
A fixed item must:
- Be a top level item with no nested items.
- Be a text, integer, or float item.
- Have a control type of radio button or pull-down.
- Have a codelist and at least one codelist item defined.
  Note: You cannot mark all items in a fixed repeating section as fixed.
Optionally, to view only fixed items in the fixed repeating section in the grid, deselect Show non-fixed columns.
Click Add Row, or right-click any arrow in the grid and select Add Row to add a row to the grid.
Optionally, to indicate that you do not want a user to enter data for a particular cell, right-click the cell and select Set as Blank.
The cell is grayed out, and when the study is deployed, the cell is disabled so that a user cannot enter data for that control. You can set a cell as blank for fixed and non-fixed items.
To modify the rows, use the buttons on the right of the dialog box.
