Collapse by Default Option in Block Properties
In the Block Properties window of both a BP form and a manager attribute form, there is a new check box called Collapse by Default. If the check box is selected, the block is collapsed by default. If the check box is not selected, the block is expanded by default.
With the Collapse by Default option, you can avoid scrolling through irrelevant information.
The Block Properties are searched during the rendering of a BP form and a manager attribute form to determine whether a block is collapsed or expanded at runtime.
For a block to be collapsed at runtime, the block label and the block borders must be visible.
This option is applicable only for Standard View of forms.” Collapse by Default is applicable to the following forms: Action form, View form, Detail form, and various attribute forms. For manager attribute forms, this option is available for the Activity Manager, Configurable Manager, Cost Manager, Document Manager, and Space Manager. This option is also applicable to Shell attribute forms as well as places where a preview of a manager attribute form is displayed, such as a variety of logs.
Notes:
- If a form has only one block, then the attribute of expand or collapse will not be available.
- If you change the default behavior by performing the opposite action at runtime, the default expand or collapse option is displayed when the page is reloaded.
