Collapsible Area: General Information

A collapsible area is an area on an MYOB Acumatica form that users can expand or collapse to show or hide its content. When the area is collapsed, only the pinned elements are displayed, saving screen space and directing users' attention toward important elements. When expanded, the collapsible area reveals additional content. Collapsible areas are useful when you want to manage screen space effectively while providing access to secondary or optional information.

In the Modern UI, a collapsible area is defined by the qp-collapsible attribute, which is added to the tag that defines the area.

Learning Objectives

In this chapter, you will learn about the proper configuration of a collapsible area and the elements of the area that are pinned by default.

Applicable Scenarios

You configure a collapsible area in the following cases:

• You need to manage a large number of elements on any part of an MYOB Acumatica form. For example, if an area on an MYOB Acumatica form contains multiple sections with more than five UI elements, you can use a collapsible area to give users the ability to expand the key information while keeping other content hidden.
• You want to hide optional or less frequently used content on an MYOB Acumatica form.
• You want to give users control over the content of some part of an MYOB Acumatica form. With collapsible areas, users can control what information they want to see.
