Arrays for Inline Data Fields

Inline data fields are not likely to appear in lists or tables. However, there are a number of in­stances where you might find arrayed inline fields quite useful. Suppose that, instead of the bor­rower table, you had a layout like this, with a table for each borrower:

The borrower name is in an inline field that is part of the table heading. The inline field is a one-dimensional arrayed field that contains a list of the borrower names.

To define an arrayed inline field

1. Create your text boxes and insert your inline fields.

2. Display the DataView tree. Then click on the form name and select Sort by Page.

3. Find the inline field section of the page where your fields are located and select the inline fields. This is the easiest way to select inline fields that are not adjacent on the form.

4. Display the Field properties.

5. Enter the data ID and description for the fields.

6. Click on the Data ID label to expose the Data Dimension property.

7. Click the in the Data Dimension value field once to enter a 1 and the Data Index 1 field will appear:

8. For each field in the set, do the following:

• Select the field in the tree.

• Enter the index in the Data Index 1 field:

The above example shows the index entered for the third borrower in our list.
