Change the default style and structure of the FMEA formsheet > FMEA formsheet elements
columnGroup
Groups the column elements.
Attributes
id: (Mandatory) Specifies the unique ID for the column group. The uniqueness of this ID is specific to columnGroup and column elements.
titleKey: (Mandatory) Specifies the key used for localization.
sourceColumn: (Optional) Specifies the column to refer as the source object. The format of the value is columnKey.objectType, where columnKey is the value from the ID attribute of the source column and objectType means object or relation_object from the source column. Example: Copy
sourceColumn=" col_Failure_Cause.object"
You can skip objectType if you want to use the object from the source column. sourceColumn=" col_Failure_Cause " and sourceColumn=" col_Failure_Cause.object" are the same. To use the relation object from the source column as the source: sourceColumn=" col_Failure_Cause.relation_object".
name (Optional) Specifies the database name of a property on the object. This is not the display name and is a required attribute. You can add DCP properties in the name attribute. Examples: name="object_name" name="REF(qfm0FunctionsElementsList,Qfm0FunctionElement).object_name" name="GRM(Qfm0Effect,WorkspaceObject).object_name" If the titleKey attribute is not provided, the localized value of the property is used as the column name. If the validation of the traversal fails, the column name is displayed as “sourceColumn + name” as the column name.
hidden: (Optional) Column Group along with it’s column will not be shown in formsheet.
showHeader: (Optional) If false, In Formsheet columns under this column group will be shown without column group Header. Default value is “true” if not defined.
sortByProperty: (Optional) Sort the Data of column group using defined property. The sorting will happen in context of source object. Example :
All Qam0QualityAction will be sorted based on qam0Sequence. Data can be sorted by using relation_object also, If source column is rendered using relations. sortByProperty="relation_object.aqc0Order" sortDirection: (Optional) sorting direction of Data. Ascending or Descending. Default value is Ascending if not defined. Sort Direction will be considered only if sort By property is defined.
isModifiable: (Optional) Data of column group can be configured to allow or do not allow modification. Default value is true if not defined. If user has access to modify the property and in configuration is modifiable is false then user cannot modify the property.
