Checking here will not display the headings in the row titles section. Refer to the description below for details.

For applications created in versions prior to 5.1 and updated to version 5.2 or later, this item will be checked for existing forms to maintain backward compatibility. For forms created in version 5.2 or later, this item is not checked by default.

"Protect Cells" can also be set in column, row, or cell specifications, but in those cases, the selection boxes will not be hidden.

Minimum Indent Width of Row Titles

A header is displayed for each repetition within a loop. The Indent Width of Row Titles is the width of the area where these headers are displayed. The larger value between the "Minimum Indent Width" specified here and in the loop specification will be applied as the actual indent width. If there are multiple loop specifications at the same depth on the vertical axis, the largest value among those specified "Minimum Indent Width" and the one specified here will be applied as the actual indent width.

However, if the child element of the Loop Specification is only one Column & Row Specification, the header row of that loop will not be displayed. Therefore, the "Minimum Indent Width of Row Titles" specified in that loop specification will not be applied, so please be careful.

Row Title Headings

Row title headings are displayed according to the following conditions:

  • From left to right, the names of the dimensions used in the loop specifications corresponding to those columns are displayed. If there are multiple such loop specifications, the one belonging to the deepest loop series is targeted. If there are multiple deepest loop series, the one that appears first (top) is prioritized.

  • If the "deepest loop series" mentioned above contains multiple row definitions in its lowest loop specification, the rightmost column of the row title section corresponds to those row definitions, and the heading will display "Item."

(5) Row Appearance

Item Mandatory Content

・Row-wise Loop Layout

Specifies whether to display the loop header row or to display loop items in the first detail row for row-wise loop display. By default, the loop header row is displayed.
