Dialog Property arrangements

In this dialog you can specify the display settings for the different properties of the item placed in the layout space. Individually placed properties can be docked with each other and made into a single block; when moving, this allows all the (desired) text to be moved at once and avoids overlapping of multi-line text with other text.

Overview of the main dialog elements:

Property arrangement:

In the drop-down list, different predefined assignment configurations are offered for selection.

Select the desired property arrangement from the drop-down list; the properties selected in this configuration for display will then be listed in the field below the drop-down list. The settings of property arrangements only affect the placement and display of properties.

If you have selected a property, you can edit its display properties in the right side of the dialog.

List of placed properties:

This list shows the already placed properties for the item. If you have selected a property, you can edit its display properties in the right side of the dialog.

Popup menu:

The popup menu provides - depending on the field type (e.g. date, integer, multilingual) - the following menu items that are, depending on the situation, available for influencing the table or editing the values in the fields. You can find an overview of these popup menu items in the section Popup menu items.

In addition, the following dialog-specific popup menu items are available:
