Row and Column Display Properties – Kepion Support Center

Introduction

In the Properties tab of the Form Editor, you can customize the display of the Dimension Members on the rows, columns, and filters.

This article will cover the options available in the Row and Column tabs. For more information on Filter Displays, please refer to the article Filter Display Properties

Change Default Display

For the members on an axis, you can choose to show different properties or attributes. By default, each member will show its MemberName property.

However, you can choose to show any of the Dimension Member attributes. In the Properties tab, select Column, and then choose Add.

We can refresh to Form to see the changes take effect.

You can even select multiple different attributes at the same time.

Indent Hierarchy

If you check the indent hierarchy option, the members will be indented in accordance with their place in the hierarchy. This option needs to be checked for the Enable expand and collapse feature to function properly.

Alternate Display

The Alternate Display allows the user to dynamically swap out the current display property with one or more of the selected properties.

You can give the selectable group of properties a common header and define the available properties for users to pick from in the Alternate Display popup window.

Attribute for Link & Hover

Attribute for Link can turn a member display into a hyperlink. To setup this feature, you will need to have an attribute in the dimension that stores the hyperlink target.

Attribute for Hover, once configured, will show a floating window with the selected attribute value when users hover over the display.

For more information on both of these options, please refer to the article Configure Form with Hover Over and Link.

Format

Format allows you to specify a format string for the Form display property. Depending on the type of the display property, you have different format options. For example:

Int16: with a value of 240
'C3'	$240.000
'D4'	0240
'e1'	2.4e+002
'E2'	2.40E+002
'F1'	240.0
'G'	240
'N1'	240.0
'P0'	24,000 %
'X4'	00F0
'0000.0000'	0240.0000

For more information on the available options, refer to the article Custom Formatting for Display Properties.

Image Link & Stretch

You can also integrate images inside a Form. To configure for this scenario, you will need to configure a Dimension Attribute that contains the URL of the PNG/JPEG files. You can also configure the Image Stretch property to determine how the image is rendered.

For more information on both of these options, refer to the article Add Image in Form and Dashboard.
