Check this when setting the screen to view-only. In view-only screens, the selection box row for row insertion will not be displayed. The "Protect Cells" option can also be set at the column, row, or cell level, but in such cases, the selection box will not be hidden.

Minimum Indent Width for Row Titles

For each repetition included in the loop, a loop header will be displayed. The indent width for row titles is the width of the area used to display this header. The larger of the "minimum indent width" specified here and the "minimum indent width for row titles" specified in the loop specifications will be the actual applied indent width. When there are multiple loop specifications at the same depth on the vertical axis, the largest value of the "minimum indent width for row titles" specified for them or the "minimum indent width" specified here will be applied.

However, if the child element of the Loop Specification is just one Column/Row Specification, the loop header row will not be displayed. Therefore, the minimum indent width for row titles specified in that loop specification will not be applied, so please be aware.

Row Title Header

The header for the row title area is displayed according to the following conditions:

  • From left to right, the name of the dimension used in the loop specification corresponding to the column of the header will be displayed. If there are multiple such loop specifications, the one belonging to the deepest loop series will be used. If there are multiple deepest loop series, the one earlier (above) will be prioritized.

  • If the lowest loop specification in the aforementioned "deepest loop series" contains multiple row definitions, the rightmost column of the row title area will correspond to the row definition, and the header will display "Item."
