Form Builder ~ Repeated Grids
Home ▸ Form Builder
Form Builder supports grids with repeated rows. You can repeat a single row (which is the most common case), or multiple rows.
You insert a new repeated grid with the "New Repeated Grid" toolbox button.
Once the grid is inserted, you can add (using the grid arrows which appear on mouse hover) and remove (using the trash icon which appears on mouse hover) columns and rows, and add controls to grid cells as you would in a regular non-repeated grid.
If you add multiple rows with the arrows, the entire group of rows is repeated.
Once a grid is inserted, you can edit its properties with the "Grid Settings" icon.
The "Visibility" and "Read-Only" formulas control whether the entire grid (including it's headers if any) is visible at all or whether its content is entirely readonly.
NOTE: Since Orbeon Forms 4.8, these settings properly apply to the entire grid. Previously, the grid's repeat headers did not hide properly for example when the grid was hidden. See issue #635.
The repeat settings control whether to use a custom iteration name (not recommended in most cases), and the minimum/maximum number of repeat iterations allowed.
