Control Settings
[SINCE Orbeon Forms 2018.2]
This tab shows settings for specific controls. Those settings apply to all control on the form except when they are overridden by individual settings in the "Control Settings" dialog.
For example, you can set a "Digits After Decimal" setting global to the form, and then override it on specific number controls as needed.
Fixed width: the form sections and grids take a fixed and predefined width of approximately 940px for large displays (the layout becomes responsive for smaller displays sizes).
Fluid width: the form sections and grids take the entire web browser's viewport size.
"Show subsections for the active section only", "Show subsections for all sections", "Don't show subsections": use the given setting for this form definition, no matter how the property is configured.
