Guide Section: GUI of EASAPs | EASAP Tree: USER INTERFACE Branch
A SUB PANE is a box for grouping data entry objects for organizational purposes. SUB PANE's Child data entry objects collect and display data in the EASAP's interface.
By making use of the Layout: parameter, you can create user interfaces with multiple columns on a TABBED PANE’s Input region. This approach can improve the use of space on the GUI when no diagram is present on the TABBED PANE.
Tip: A common technique is to use a SUB PANE as the main Parent for a group of Child SUB PANE's and then to set its Layout: parameter to 'GRID' and its Show Border: parameter to 'FALSE'.

Row Heights: | Used in 'Spreadsheet compatibility' mode by the Excel Range Wizard. Not intended for direct input. |
Delimiter: | Character to act as delimiter in DORs. default→% |
