General Section Properties
Description
Title
This displays the name of the section that you can edit.
Columns
This column decides the number of columns the section displays.
Display Rules
This option helps you decide when the criteria to display or hide the header section must be executed. The values are:
• Always Display (Default): This option displays the section at all times, including empty sections.
• Evaluate Always: This option displays the section in the form based on the Display Criteria configured.
• Evaluate On Load: This option displays the section when the form is loaded, based on the Display Criteria configured.
Display Criteria
This option helps define a condition as an expression to show a section. If the condition is met, then the section is displayed. Else not. Use the Configure link to add an expression. You can perform the following actions:
• Add an expression.
• Edit an existing configured expression using Edit Criteria.
• Delete an expression using the Remove Association or Delete button.
For more information on expressions on how to configure expressions, see Expressions Editor.
* 
• You cannot add a field to a section if that is part of the expression in the Display Criteria. The SFM is not saved, and an error message is displayed.
• The Display Criteria expression editor does not list fields that are added to the section.
Error is displayed on SFM save and when the field is added to the section.
• The expression can have a maximum of 10 rows.
Hide Section Title
Enable this toggle button to hide the section title from the display. Hiding the section title makes the form more compact on the SFM delivery page.
* 
This property is only available for header sections.
Remove Section
This option is visible when there is more than one header section. You can remove any selected section with this option.

Parent Object Sections Action Icons
Description
Add Space
Adds space between the fields in the layout editor for visual organization during configuration. Click Add Space to insert a blank space.
The Add Space option enables you to organize fields only while designing the layout. This space is not displayed on the SFM Delivery page.
* 
Blank space appears on the Delivery page only when a field is placed in one column and the corresponding row in the other column is empty. When another field is added later in the section, the area between these fields appears as blank space.
Click the header of the section or on the Setting icon to get information on the Section properties.
Add Field
This icon displays the list of fields associated with the selected Section Object.
You can select multiple fields from the list. There is an option to map a field to a column, and accordingly, it is added to the section column on confirmation. In the pop-up list displayed, the fields added are disabled. You do not have the option to select a field more than once in any given section.
There are two columns: Column 1 and Column 2. You can choose either of the columns to add a field. The Confirm button adds a field to the selected section, and the Cancel button discards the selection.
Add a section
This enables you to add multiple sections to the parent object. You are only allowed to add a section to the Parent Object Sections.
