align

Alignment of data in a column, as defined in the %simple.aligns; entity.

If true, categorizes a view, grouping all rows containing a specified value under a row displaying that value as the row heading.

If true, displays categorized columns created in Release 4 as flat columns in Release 5 or later.

If true, hides the column.

If true, hides the content of a column's rows and instead displays only the column total row. The style of the total row is defined in the totals attribute.

Name assigned to the column for programmatic use; similar to an alias assigned to design elements.

Multi-value separators as defined in the %list.separators; entity. A column cannot contain the "blankline" option.

If true, users can resize the column by clicking and dragging the column borders.

Users can click the column header to reverse the sort order (between ascending or descending) or to jump to a different view. See the %resort.options; entity for a list of options.

Users can sort a second column in a specified sorting order.

If a value is supplied in the resort2 attribute, specifies the column that the secondary sort applies to.

If the resort attribute equals view, specifies the name of the view to jump to.

If true, displays response documents only.

If true, displays column values as icons. For instance, if the value of a column row is 61, a key icon (which resides in a Notes file directory) displays instead of the number value.

Sorting order as defined in the %sort.orders; entity.

Indicates whether to sort a column without regard to accent. By default, accent-sensitive sorting is not selected.

Indicates whether to sort a column without regard to case. By default, case-sensitive sorting is not selected.

If true, displays values from a multi-value field on separate rows.

If true, displays each value in the column as a link on the Web. This option overrides the default behavior of Domino, which designates to display only the values in the left-most column as links on the Web.

Displays the column's total row in the style defined in the %totals.options; entity.

If true, displays a twistie when the row is expandable. A twistie is an icon that indicates that an expanded category in a view can be collapsed and a collapsed category can be expanded. Default is false.

Column width measured by the number of characters that can fit across a column.

The %sort.orders; entity lists the sorting orders for a view column.

Syntax:

<!ENTITY % sort.orders " ascending | descending | none ">

The %resort.options; entity lists the options to set up user-sorted view column.

Syntax:

<!ENTITY % resort.options " %sort.orders; | both | toview ">

both

Users can toggle between ascending and descending sort orders.

Displays a jump icon in the column header, indicating that a user can click the header to change to a different view.

Syntax:

<!ENTITY % totals.options "none | total | averageperchild | percentoverall | percentparent | averageperentry ">

averageperchild

Average of the numeric values per sub-category entry.

Average of the numeric values per document.

Does not display any totals.

Percentage of the numeric value for each document as it relates to the average for the rest of the view.

Percentage of the numeric value for each category as it relates to the average for the rest of the view.

Grand total of the numeric values of all the main documents.
