Customizing Cumulus : Record View Sets : Adding a Separator to a View
   
Adding a Separator to a View
The Asset Info window and the Category Info window as well as Info view support separator elements that allow to group fields. Separators can make it clear to users which metadata fields belong together. Users can close a separator to hide its fields and make metadata editing much easier on views that contain many fields. You can add as many separators as you need.
You can add and remove a separator just as any other field.
To add a separator to an Info window or Info view:
 
1. Select  Cumulus /  Edit > Preferences.
2. Click Record View Sets or Category View Sets.
3. Under Set, select the View Set you want to edit.
4. Click the icon for the view to which you want to add the separator.
A list of fields shown in the selected view is displayed.
5. Select the entry for the field after which you want to place the separator.
6. Click Add Separator. A dialog for entering a name for the separator is opened.
7. Enter a name and click OK.
The separator is added to the view.
To change the properties of a separator:
 
1. Select  Cumulus /  Edit > Preferences.
2. Click Record View Sets or Category View Sets.
3. Under Set, select the View Set you want to edit.
4. Click the icon for the view you want to edit.
5. Select the entry for the separator whose properties you want to change.
6. Click Properties.
This opens a dialog for defining the font attributes and changing the name of the separator.
7. Make your selections.
8. Click OK to assign the selected properties to the separator.
9. Click Apply. The separator will be displayed according to your settings.
NOTE: Activating the Dynamic Field Visibility option for a separator affects all fields below that separator: if the separator is not displayed, none of the respective fields will be displayed regardless of their individual settings. But then, if the separator is displayed, the settings for individual fields are taken into account.
