You may want to define a base form and have an additional section dynamically generated from the column items configured for the item's list view. To do this, select Dynamic section driven from column set option.

For a given form purpose, a form can have only one section defined as being a dynamic one, unless they have different complex levels. Display items are dynamically generated in the same order as column items, sorted by order value. The default create values of these display items will respect the SPFCellDefaultCreateValue property in ISPFColumnSetColumnItem interface definition, along with the Mandatory and DisplayAs properties. They should also respect the ReadOnly property, when the form purpose is Reclassify, Revise, SignOff, Update, or Activate.

No display item will be generated for the following column items:

  • Property definition, edge definition, or relationship definition of a column item, if it is related to a display item already on the form.

  • Exposed property definitions of IObject.

  • Dynamic item property set to True.

  • Edge definition UID is set and property definition UID is not Name.

  • Edge definition column item with multiple relationship definitions in path definition.

In addition to selecting the Dynamic section driven from column set option, the appropriate complex level must be set. Sections must be related to the form and form purpose. The dynamic sections are then added to the form.

  • You can hide an attribute column item from any dynamic form by selecting Manage Column Items for Edit on the specific column set and setting the Hide on Dynamic Form property to True.

  • You can configure a property attribute column item to conditionally display in the same dynamic form section when selected from different configurations by selecting Manage Column Items and setting the property attribute Configs option to the required configuration.

Control dynamic sections using SmartPlant Attribution Manager

You can edit the attribute content of column sets related to classifications using SmartPlant Attribution Manager. This controls how each form displays items on dynamic sections and dynamic section tabs.

If you want a form to display the contents of dynamic sections configured using SmartPlant Attribution Manager, set the Allow Attribution Manager Content form details property to True in the Desktop Client.

By default, the Allow Attribution Manager Content property is set to False, so that any existing forms are not affected by any changes made in SmartPlant Attribution Manager. You must set the property to True on each form that you want to edit using SmartPlant Attribution Manager.
