Section settings
[SINCE Orbeon Forms 2016.1]
A section can be open/expanded or closed/collapsed. By default, sections are open when the form loads, unless the "Initially open" checkbox is deselected.
The "Collapsible" radio buttons control whether the user can collapse and expand sections:
- Use property: use the configuration specified with the
oxf.xforms.xbl.fr.section.collapsibleproperty - Always: the section is collapsible no matter what the
oxf.xforms.xbl.fr.section.collapsibleproperty specifies - Never: the section is not collapsible no matter no matter what the
oxf.xforms.xbl.fr.section.collapsibleproperty specifies
The label can be configured directly in the form area, by clicking on the section title, or in the "Label" tab.
The help message is configured in the "Help Message" tab. Similarly, the help message can be in plain text or use rich text (HTML).

In most cases, labels and help are simply localized messages without dynamic parts.
However, sections also support dynamic labels and help messages. This means that, instead of being specified once and for all at form design time, labels and help messages can incorporate dynamic parts such as control values and other custom expressions.

For sections with repeated content, the "Repetition Label" tab allows you to set a label that applies to individual repetitions. Typically, this label will use a template so that values from the repeated content can be used.

For sections with repeated content, the "Add Repetition Label" tab allows you to set a label that applies to the button used to add repetitions.
