Creating keys in a repeating form or section
- In the Project Explorer, select the Forms and Transactions Explorer bar.
- Select a repeating form or section, and select the Design tab.
- Right-click the row of an item, and select Keys.
The Keys dialog box appears.
- In the
Data uniqueness for selected keys
section, select one of the following:
-
None
—Key items appear in a drop-down list in the summary view of a repeating form as navigation aids. The key items are not used to enforce uniqueness of key values across instances of the repeating form.
-
Individual
—Each key item must be unique across all instances of the repeating form or itemset in the InForm application.
-
Group
—The combination of all key items evaluated together must be unique across all instances of the repeating form or itemset in the InForm application.
- In the
Key selection
section, move the key items from the
Items available as keys
list to the
Selected keys
list.
- If you are creating keys for a repeating form, and you selected
Individual
in the previous step, select the Unique checkbox for each item to designate as a unique key. (In a repeating section, the Unique checkbox is selected and disabled for all selected key items.)
Note: A set of key items for a repeating form can include both items that are individually unique and items that appear in the drop-down list for navigation but are not used to enforce uniqueness. The key items can come from the repeating form or from a non-repeating section in the form.
- To change the order in which the items appear in the InForm application in the drop-down summary list of a repeating form, select an item and click the Move Up or Move Down button. Repeat this step for each item you want to move.
- Click OK.
