Section layout component

Function: a!sectionLayout_17r1()

Displays one or two columns of related components beneath a section title on an interface.

See also: Dashboard, Form

Parameters

Usage considerations

• If you put a two-column section within a column of a two-column dashboard, the section's columns collapse into one.
• If the Column 2 Contents argument is null, the content for the first column displays as in a single-column layout with no space left for where the second column would display.
• Sections that contain validation messages are not collapsible regardless of the setting of the Collapsible parameter. For example, if a validation is triggered when the form loads, then that section is expanded, even if you have specified true for the Initially Collapsed parameter.
• If you have nested section layouts, any validations on an inner section will appear in the outer section.
