Rows and columns in a cell system
Figure: View Layout
Rows and columns within a view are counted from left to right or from top to bottom. The outer rows and columns are combined as a border. A blue arrow marks the relevant row and column for a selected cell.
The following entries can be edited for a row or column:
Name - Define a name in order to find a cell in a complex cell system quickly.
Hidden - Activate this option to hide a chosen row or column
Size - Set the size of the row or column in centimeters. The total equals the page size of the view.
For many cells, the content decides of the size of a cell, e. g. scales. The cell with the subproject can be adjusted to get the required page size.
Free text fields
Click the button 'View Text Fields' to define up to six additional text fields. These text fields can be used as View Tokens within a cell, e.g., to add notes.
To set the ruler on the left and upper edge, select one of these:
Invisible - No rule is shown on the left and upper edge.
Small - Just the slider points of the cells are shown.
Full - The ruler including the slider points is shown.
The border around the main cell system can be hidden using the option Show border. If you activate this option, the outer (border) cell will be shown.
In general, these border cells are used to display objects of forms like logos, etc.
Background - Predefined or user-defined color setting of the day definition.
Line Color - Predefined or user-defined color setting of the line style.

Font - Percentage value to scale all fonts of texts, scales, resource plans, and histograms in this view.
