compressLayout

The <bloxui:compressLayout> tag compresses the column and row headers into one level when there are multiple dimensions on the column or row axes.

This tag should be nested within the tag of a <blox:present> or <blox:grid> tag. It has the following tag attributes:

<bloxui:compressLayout
   applyLayout=""
   compressColumns=""
   compressRows="" 
   description="" 
   memberSeparator="" 
   name=""
   showOnLayoutMenu="" />

where:

Attribute	Required	Description
`applyLayout`	No	`true` — apply this layout when the page is loaded; `false` — do not apply this layout when the page is loaded. The default is `true`. Sometimes you may not want a layout to be applied until the user chooses to. In this case, set the `showOnLayoutMenu` attribute to `true` and turn on menu bar in your presentation Blox.
`compressColumns`	No	`true` — to compress the column headers into one level. If you have multiple dimensions on the column axis, the headers can be compressed into one level. The default for `compressColumns` is `false`. When this attribute is set to `true`, the default members separator is a vertical bar (" \| "). Note: If this or the `compressRows` attributes are not specified, the tag will not do anything.
`compressRows`	No	`true` — to compress the column headers into one level. If you have multiple dimensions on the row axis, the headers will be compressed into one level. The default for `compressRows` is `false`. When this attribute is set to `true`, the default members separator is a vertical bar (" \| "). Note: If this or the `compressColumns` attributes are not specified, the tag will not do anything.
`description`	No	The display layout name when `showOnLayoutMenu` is set to `true`. The default value is “`Compressed Headers`.”
`memberSeparator`	No	The text to use to separate the members. The default value is a vertical bar (" \| ") with a space before and after.
`name`	No	The menu ID for this layout under the Format menu in the menu bar. Assigning a name gives you programmatic access to the menu for custom event handlers and actions.
`showOnLayoutMenu`	No	When set to `true`, this adds a Format menu to the menu bar (if it does not exist already), with an added menu option under the Layout submenu, labeled after the value of the `description` attribute. The default is `false`.

compressLayout Tag Example

The following example compresses the row and column headers in the grid using " / " as the member separator. This also adds a Compressed Layout menu option to the menu bar’s Format menu.

<%@ taglib uri="bloxtld" prefix="blox"%>
<%@ taglib uri="bloxuitld" prefix="bloxui"%>

<HTML>
<head>
   <blox:header />
</head>
...
<body>
<blox:present id="myPresent" width="600" height="500" >
   ...
   <bloxui:compressLayout 
       compressRows="true" 
       compressColumns="true" 
       showOnLayoutMenu="true" 
       memberSeparator = " / " />
...
</blox:present>
...
</body>
</HTML>

Note: When column or row headers are compressed, all the model components are copied into a single grid header cell. For example, when Actual and Qtr 3 01 are compressed using " / " as the separator, the three Static components are placed into a single cell.
