Container summary
CO-6218 Adds a new Container summary control.
A Container summary is used to display in a table format the data entered in a Repeatable or a Table control.
The Repeatable is flexible and allows many different kinds of controls to be used for data entry, but it can be difficult to see everything that has been entered at once. Use the Container summary to get a quick overview of data in a Repeatable as it is entered.
Properties
Caption: The caption that appears above the container summary.
Container: Select a Repeatable or Table container in the form to summarize.
Columns: Select the columns to include in the summary.
Fit to screen width: By default, columns will be equally spaced based on the default minimum size of your fields. Each tool has a default minimum size and equally spaced columns will use the largest value to set all columns. Another automatic option is to set columns equal to the caption length. Both of these can be problematic and can cause the table to not fit in the screen. It is recommended that you use the adjust column width setting to insure that your table always fits your screen as desired.

Adjust column width: (The Fit to screen checkbox must be selected in order to use this option.) This option allows you to determine exactly what percentage of the screen each column will have. This gives you the ability to give your product description field more space in the table then lets say the quantity field. Your values must always equal 100 and you must have a value for every field including hidden fields. Use a value of 0 for hidden fields. To set the column widths simply create a string like this one. 40|20|20|20. This gives the first column double the width of the other columns. When the form is on a device or in a PDF or printed the columns will automatically adjust to fill the entire available area using these ratios.
Screen size: Some tables can have many columns. You can set the table to use more then the visible screen size. This will force the table to pan. The alternative is the form will wrap column headings and data to fit in the screen. This could make it difficult to use.
If screen is smaller than: If your screen size is set to 100 your form will always try to fit your table on the screen. In some cases a user might open a form on a small device. This option allows the form to automatically pan on smaller devices. This will give the user on a small device a better experience. We recommend always using this option unless you absolutely know how users will access the form.
Format
Display row number: Select this property to add a first column to the table, which will display row numbers for each row.
Appearance
