Detailed Specification

Field popup window

Screenshot of new field popup window

This new field popup window allows the users to quickly edit visibility of field members. To activate the popup, you need to click on the arrow button on the right side of the field button. The popup window displays a list of field members associated with that field, and a check box is placed to the left of each field member name. Located in the top part of the window are menu items that allows you to sort the field members either in

  • ascending order,
  • descending order, or
  • custom order via custom sort orders defined in the Options dialog.

To edit the custom sort lists, go to OpenOffice.org Calc - Sort Lists in the Options dialog.

Visual clue for fields with hidden members

As mentioned in the previous section, the popup arrow is located on the right side of the field button. The arrow is normally black, but when the field contains one or more hidden members, the arrow turns its color to blue, and displays a tiny square at its lower-right corner, to provide visual hint to the users that the field contains hidden members.
