Use repeater layouts when the fields in a panel belong to a repeating subform or when the field has multiple occurrences. Once you drag a field onto the repeater panels, select the Allow Field To Repeat check box under Field properties for the field to enable the repeater layout.
Creates a repeating set of named areas that display content that is organized into One Column, Two Column, or Three Column structure. This organization makes it easy to create panels that display form objects in varying sequences.
The panel is structured into the following named areas: One Column, Two Column, Three Column, One Column, Two Column, Three Column, One Column, Two Column, Three Column, One Column, Two Column, and Three Column.
Each area creates a layout similar to the corresponding panel layout. For example, the One Column areas organize objects from the form guide hierarchy in Guide Builder in the order in which they appear in the form guide hierarchy, from top to bottom. Similarly, in the Two Column areas, objects are placed in each of two columns in an alternating pattern.
Note:
You cannot add instances of the Next Area utility object to the Multi Column, Pie Chart Horizontal, Repeater Grids, Repeater Tabs, Repeater Accordions, and Variable Column panel layouts. These layout are strictly organized into the previously described areas.
