Setting Composite Form Layout

Oracle Hyperion Planning provides tools that allow you to create whatever composite form layout is best for your application. Each area in the composite form is called a section. Initially, you specify whether to divide the composite form layout into two side-by-side sections, or two sections that are stacked one above the other. There is also a custom layout option.

To set composite form layout:

1. Open the composite form, and then click Layout.

   See Selecting and Opening Forms and Folders.

2. In Select Layout, select an option:

   • Custom Layout to create your own composite form layout.

     Note:

     The custom layout option is selected by default.

   • 2–Row Layout to split the composite form into two sections, one on top of the other, divided by a horizontal line.

   • 2–Column Layout to split the composite form into two side-by-side sections divided by a vertical line.

   The selected layout is displayed.

3. Add, rearrange, or delete simple forms as desired.

   See Adding Simple Forms to a Composite Form Layout, Rearranging Forms in the Layout, and Deleting Simple Forms from a Composite Form.

4. Optional: Click in the upper right side of a section to select the following additional layout options for that section:

   • Split Horizontally to split the section into two sections, one above the other.

   • Split Vertically to split the section into two side-by-side sections.

     Note:

     When you split a composite form section that contains simple forms, the simple forms remain in the original section. For example, if you split a section vertically, the original section is divided into two side-by-side sections. The simple forms from the split section are included in the left section, and the right section is empty.

   • Delete to remove a section from the composite form.

     When you delete a section from a composite form, the simple forms included in that section are also deleted from the composite form, unless they are included in other sections of the composite form.

   • Add Form to display the Form Selector dialog box where you can select additional forms to add to the layout.

   • Group as Tabs to display the forms in that section as tabs.

   • Ungroup Tabs to clear Group as Tabs.

5. Click Save to save the Composite Form layout.

   Tip:

   You can edit a simple form from within a composite form. Right-click the simple form, and then select Form Designer. Edit the form as described in Editing Forms. Access permissions apply as described in Forms and Access Permissions.
