Info tab:
- Type - Tree or Flat. This setting allows you to decide whether to show the hierarchy of the Outline or not. Tree style shows all of the outline entries in the hierarchy, while Flat shows only one level at a time. Use the Flat style selection in conjunction with the Title style setting.
If you choose Flat Style, you have the option of displaying the outline vertically or horizontally. Display horizontally displays entries to fit the window across instead of down.
- Title style - Hide or Simple. Simple style lets users navigate back up to prior levels by displaying the parent of the current level in an outline. Hide style does not display any hierarchy, so once users go down a level in the outline they cannot navigate back up.
- Target frame - Specify the frame where you want the source (link, named element, or URL) displayed.
- Twisties (Tree style only)
Show twisties - Select to display a triangle that users click to see outline entries.
OS style - Select if you want the outline to appear in a structure similar to the Design pane in IBM® Lotus® Domino(TM) Designer. Instead of twisties, the user clicks a plus sign (+) to expand and a minus sign (-) to collapse. This setting is supported on Windows platforms.
Image - Specify a custom twistie image instead of the triangle. Click the folder icon to select a shared image resource.
Optionally, click the @ button to use a formula to control the image display.
- Columns (Flat Vertical style only)
Show as multiple columns - If you select this setting, the entries at any level automatically display in columns (instead of using scroll bars) when the outline is longer than the allotted height. For example, an outline that has entries that would normally require a height of three inches to display would wrap into columns if the outline had a fixed height of one inch. However, if the outline height is set to "Fit to content," columns do not automatically appear because the outline height increases to the height it needs.
Column width - Specify the width of the columns in inches.
- Root entry - Specify a root by using the parent entry label or the alias of the parent entry. (For backwards compatibility with Lotus Domino Designer R5, you should specify the alias.) When you specify a root entry, the children of the specified entry only are displayed. One use of this field is to restrict access to elements in your site or database.
If the specified entry does not have any children, then nothing will display in the outline. If you want to give users a way to navigate back up the hierarchy from the root entry's children, enable Simple as the Title style for either a Tree or Flat outline. If you want to limit users' access to those children entries only, set the root, and don't enable a Title style.
Width
To specify the width of an embedded outline as a percentage of the parent window, choose Fit to window (%).
To specify the width in inches of an embedded outline, choose Fixed (Size).
To allow automatic sizing of an outline based on its content -- for example, the number of entries and whether or not the entries are expanded or collapsed -- choose Fit to content.
To specify the width as approximately the specified number of characters based on the average character width of the specified font, choose Fixed (Chars).
Height
To specify the height in inches of an embedded outline, choose Fixed (height).
To allow automatic sizing of an outline based on its content -- for example, the number of entries and whether or not the entries are expanded or collapsed -- choose Fit to content.
To allow automatic sizing of the height of an outline based on the size of the window that the outline is displayed in regardless of its content, choose Fit to window.
Show scroll bar
To display a scroll bar if the embedded outline entries do not fit on the screen, select "Show scroll bar."
- Web access - Select HTML or a Java applet to display an embedded outline to Web users.
- Special
Show folder unread information - If you select this option, folder names in the outline become bolded when there is new or changed information; the unread count follows the folder name. For example: Infobox (8). Note that this option works only on Lotus Notes Domino Release 6 or later.
Font tab
Select either Top-level font or Sub-level font to format the font of the outline entries. If Title style is set to Simple, select the Title Font. You can also select font colors for:
- Normal state of entries
- Selected (when the entry is selected)
- Moused (when the mouse passes over the entry)
Background tab
For each of the areas on the embedded Outline, you can specify color or image backgrounds. You can set mouse-over and selection colors. Images can be tiled in various ways, such as top to bottom, or left to right, or positioned under the text, for button effects. Images must be shared image resources for the database.
Layout tab
Set the positioning for the title-level (if Simple title is enabled), top-level, or the subsequent levels of:
Height - height of each entry. (This setting represents the width of each entry in a flat horizontal outline.)
Vertical offset - aligns the outline entries relative to the top edge of the embedded outline or previous outline entry. If you want to customize the spacing between outline entries, use this setting.
Horizontal offset - aligns the outline entries relative to the left edge of the embedded outline, for title or top-level entries. Sub-level offset is relative to parent entry's left edge.
- The label text of the outline entry
Alignment - within the outline entry.
Vertical offset - relative to the top or bottom edge of the outline entry, depending on alignment; ignored for a middle vertical alignment.
Horizontal offset - relative to the left or right edge of the outline entry, depending on alignment; ignored for a center horizontal alignment.
Alignment - within the outline entry.
Vertical offset - relative to the top or bottom edge of the embedded outline entry, depending on alignment; ignored for a middle vertical alignment.
Horizontal offset -- relative to the left or right edge of the outline entry, depending on alignment; ignored for a center horizontal alignment.
Border tab
Set a border style, effect, and thickness.
For more information on borders, see the topic "Setting a border style, effect, and thickness" in the Lotus Notes Help.
