Editing hyperblock properties

Or, right-click and select Object Properties. The Object Properties dialog is displayed.

Name

By default, hyperblocks are named HyperblockN, where N is a sequential number. You can change the name to make it easier to reference hyperblocks in formulas.

List

You can change the list assigned to the hyperblock. For example, from a local list to a global list.

See Lists.

Disconnect pick list

If the contents of the list are defined by a pick list, this breaks the connection with the pick list. The list reverts to the original definition.

See Pick lists.

Copy to local

Converts a global list to a local list.

See Lists.

List Designer

If the list is a client list, this opens the Client List Designer.

New

Creates a key output cell.

Edit

Opens the Hyperblock Output Properties dialog.

See Hyperblocks.

Begin expansion at level

Hierarchical lists can be expanded and collapsed in Report View. Select a value from this list to specify how far the list is expanded when you go to View Mode. A value of 1 displays only the top level of the hierarchy.

Indent text

By default, each level of a hierarchical list is indented in relation to the level above it. Clear this box to display them directly beneath each other.

Value

The Value section lists the key output cells and value cell of the hyperblock. If you click on a key output cell, a drop-down list is enabled.

SeeHyperblocks.

Display Value (~)

You can specify whether the hyperblock displays, for example, the unique names of elements or their captions. Your selection can be affected if a number format is applied to the key output cell. If the number format of the key output cell is the tilde character (~) the selection in the Display Value column has effect. But if @ is selected as the number format, the hyperblock displays the unique names of elements, whatever is selected in the Display Value column.

See Specifying number formats.

Position

You can specify the position of the key output cell within a hyperblock.
