Set Properties at the Region Level

When setting properties at the region level, there are a few things to note:

• When you set the Required property at the region level, the region will be required for the page, but the fields within the region can be set individually (that is, the setting is not inherited). So, even if you hide all the fields within a region, the region heading will still appear on the page, albeit with no fields shown beneath it.
• If a field is marked Required by Oracle and then locked, the field’s containing region will be considered mandatory at runtime, even though the region itself is not officially marked required. This is because a field cannot be shown on a page by itself, without its parent region.
• When you set the Hidden property at the region level, all of the fields within that region inherit that setting. So even if you make an explicit change for a field within the region, the region-level setting takes precedence.
• You cannot set the Read Only or Value properties at the region level.
