Description
|
Column width
|
Required fixed length of the column. Setting the width here is equivalent to setting the width by dragging
the column boundary with the mouse. If no value is set, the width is adjusted automatically according
to the width of the contents.
|
Reference of column data
|
Reference
to data displayed in the column. The reference is relative to the table row, so in the
simplest situation the reference to a simple column called name will be just
name .
Data reference is important for the possibility to order
the table by clicking a column header. This reference determines the data by which the table should be
ordered.
Furthermore, it determines the data referenced by the
cell_data
identifier.
|
Title
|
Text displayed in the column header.
|
Alignment
|
Alignment of the title.
|
Fully displayed
|
If the option is checked, the column width is set so that the entire title is visible. If not, the width
may be smaller – so only a part of the title with three dots at the end is displayed.
|
Icon
|
Icon displayed to the left of the title. See the icon
editor.
|
Column family
|
The column family determines whether the column can be ordered,
which operations are available for the column filter,
or that a special column type is concerned.
The following options are available:
simple
the simplest column setting. The column cannot be used for ordering and available filter is limited to
equal, not equal, data present, and data not present.
ordered
table can be ordered by the column, and filter options include also the comparison of values.
string
column values are strings. Same as the ordered column, plus the filter options also
include tests for a substring.
array
column values are arrays.
sequence
column values are subordinate sequences/tables.
column group
the column has no own data, it only serves as a common header for other subordinate columns.
|
Horizontal alignment
|
Determines the horizontal alignment of cell contents. The options are: left, center,
right, and auto. Auto determines alignment according
to the column data type: numbers are aligned to the right while all other values to the left.
If a line
editor is present in the column, its alignment is also specified. If you leave the auto
option in place, its alignment is inherited from the column setting, otherwise the editor setting overrides
the column setting, and the column setting is suppressed.
|
Other
|
|
Vertical alignment
|
Vertical alignment of the control in the column cell used when the row is higher than the column control.
The options are: top, center, bottom, in
block, and auto. The in block option spans the control
in the vertical direction over the entire height of the row provided that the given control allows it.
The position of the actual contents of the control depends on its particular properties.
|
Vertical indent
|
Indentation of the control in pixels. If aligned to the top, the control is shifted from the top margin
downwards. If aligned to the bottom, the control is shifted from the bottom margin upwards. If aligned
to the center, the control is shifted relative to the cell axis – negative values cause an upward
shift and vice versa.
|
Identifier
|
Column identifier.
It must be unique for the given column group. It is used to identify the column in the table
state object. Initially, its value is set equal to the object name of the column. Usually
there is no need to change this setting.
|
Required minimum width
|
Minimum width in pixels. It prevents the automatically determined column width from exceeding this value.
|
Required maximum width
|
Maximum width in pixels. The automatically determined column width must not exceed this value.
|
Space before column
|
The space (in pixels) left between the left border of the column and the control contained within.
|
Space after column
|
The space (in pixels) left between the right border of the column and the control contained within.
|
Column initially hidden
|
This option indicates, in the table
definition editor, that the column shall be hidden when the table is displayed for the
first time. It has no significance here.
|
Separator before column
|
The column is separated from the preceding column by a marked line.
|
Background
|
You can select the column background color that will be applied to the cell areas outside the control
(e.g. when the row is higher than the cell control).
|
Summary exceptions
|
Allows you to enter specific expressions (summary
exceptions) for the calculation of particular summary
types in the given column.
