Creating and Editing Collapsible Sections

Collapsible Sections are useful for organizing documents that contain a lot of information since you can use them to collapse one or more paragraphs into a single line. You can expand the paragraphs when necessary by clicking the triangle that appears to the left of a collapsed section. In Lotus Notes, this capability already exists and for users migrating from Notes to SharePoint, this feature allows for seamless migration of this type of text.

There are three editing modes in rich text editor:

•	Design — allows you to turn a section of text to collapsible or expanded

•	HTML — allows you to work directly with specified markup to turn text into a collapsible section

•	Preview — allows you to click to expand or collapse a section of text that is marked up as collapsible text.

NOTE: Collapsible text does not work in Internet Explorer 7.

To create a collapsible section

1	Select the text that you want to collapse.

2	Click Apply Section.

The selected text becomes a collapsible section with a section header with a default title of “New Section”. This title can be changed.

To remove a collapsible section

1	Select the section header.

2	Click Remove Section.

Nested sections can be created by allowing a section header and section repeated inside the parent section. The section header can be aligned to the left (default), right, and center.

 

List Name

This property defines the following:

•	The list whose data is viewed in the listform.

The following are the elements for the List attribute.

Table 37. List Name

Element	Description
Advanced Mode	Turn on if you want to edit List Name in XML format. XML will look like the following: <Lists>  <List SiteUrl="." ListName="Employee List" /> </Lists>
Site URL	Allows you to set the URL to the site that contains the list to be searched. The URL can be absolute (http://...) or relative to the current page URL. This attribute is mandatory. When using a relative URL, you can use a single dot (.) to denote the current path, a double dot (..) to denote the previous path, and a slash (/) to denote the root path. NOTE: If you want to connect the listform with another Web Part in Microsoft SharePoint Designer, the SiteUrl property must contain an absolute URL. We recommend that you keep all URLs in the Web Part configuration relative to ensure site portability. If you must, use an absolute URL temporarily, make the connection, and then change the URL to a relative one.
List Name	Allows you to enter the name of the SharePoint list that is edited or displayed. The list name is case sensitive. If the list name contains spaces, include the spaces here as well. NOTE: This only works if the qListForm is contained in the AllItems.aspx. For example, if you are replacing the Microsoft List View in the AllItems.aspx of the Tasks list and you use a single dot as the ListName attribute, the ListName attribute of the qListForm is set to Tasks. If you want to save the list as a template and then add it somewhere else, the name of the new list might not be Tasks and using this relative list name will automatically pick up the new list name for the view.
List Type	Indicates the type of the list selected. This is a read-only field and displays for all available list templates.

 

Child List

This property defines the following:

•	The list whose data is viewed in the listform.

The following are the elements for the Child List attribute.

Table 38. Child List

Element	Description

Site URL	Allows you to set the URL to the site that contains the list to be searched. The URL can be absolute (http://...) or relative to the current page URL. This attribute is mandatory. When using a relative URL, you can use a single dot (.) to denote the current path, a double dot (..) to denote the previous path, and a slash (/) to denote the root path. NOTE: If you want to connect the listform with another Web Part in Microsoft SharePoint Designer, the SiteUrl property must contain an absolute URL. We recommend that you keep all URLs in the Web Part configuration relative to ensure site portability. If you must, use an absolute URL temporarily, make the connection, and then change the URL to a relative one.
List Name	Allows you to enter the name of the SharePoint list that is edited or displayed. The list name is case sensitive. If the list name contains spaces, include the spaces here as well.

Child List Display Fields

This property defines what fields should be displayed in the List Form and how the fields are populated. When you select the Edit button, a dialog box opens with a list of field names based on the list you have selected.

You can add more details to the field names.

The following are the elements for the Child List Display Fields attribute.

 

Table 39. Child List Display Fields

Element	Description
Advanced Mode	Turn on if you want to edit Display Fields in XML format. XML will look like the following: <Fields LookupThresholdControlSetting="Default"> <Field Name="Title" InternalName="Title" />   </Fields>
Query All Fields	Controls how Web Parts behave in relation to the List Form Lookup Threshold in SharePoint Resource Throttling. The options are: • Default — uses the level set in the Configuration Editor. If you have selected Query All Fields check box in the Configuration Editor, the Web Part will query only those fields that are not included in the List View Lookup Threshold. If the Query All Fields check box is cleared, the Web Part will query all fields. • On — If the Web Part level is On, the Web Part queries all fields in lists, except Lookup fields. • Off — If the Web Part level is Off, the Web Part queries all fields in lists, including Lookup fields. NOTE: Explicit — If the Web Part level is Explicit, the Web Part queries only those fields selected in the Display Fields. This option renders the best performance for your Web Part.
Title	Allows you to change the displayed for the field. The value can be a plain string or an encoded HTML string. Change the displayed title, for example, when the title is too long or to make the title more descriptive.
Field Type	Indicates the type of the field selected. This is a read-only field and displays for all available list templates.
Width (in pixels)	Allows you to set the width of the control in pixels. Some controls, such as the Rich Text Editor, have minimum width and it will not honor the specified width if it is smaller than its minimum width.
