You can view and edit several properties of a content node by opening the properties box, either by clicking on the small expand arrow at the top-left corner of the preview pane or by selecting Open properties on the documents tab, in the outline tools group.
Another way to adjust the properties of a content node is by opening the text editor in the text view (by double-clicking on a node in the tree view or on a text in the text view), and click on the icons right below the name of the node.
The icons represent from left to right: Content style, Presentation style, Condition and Repeat condition.
Apply a content style or presentation style to a content node
A content node can have a content style (e.g. Header, Table, TableRow, TableCell, AddressBlock) and/or a presentation style (e.g. TextEmphasis, Center, RightAligned). You can use pre-defined styles from a library, or add custom styles (that must be recognized by the renderer).
Set a condition on a content node
You can enter an expression in the Condition box. When the (boolean) expression evaluates to true, the content node will be displayed. The colour of the border around the condition icon indicates if the condition expression is a valid expression.
Set a repeat condition on a content node
You can also enter an expression in the Repeat Condition box. You can specify any expression that evaluates to a set of instances (e.g. ALL Customer, Policy.HasApplicants, COLLECT Customer FROM ALL Customer WHERE <condition>).
For each instance in the set that results from the repeat expression, the content node (and all of its content) is repeated. With each repetition an instance from the set is activated.
Set image width and height
Image nodes have additional properties Width and Height. The width and/or height can be specified using a floating point number, using a period as decimal indicator. The unit is centimetres, and does not have to be specified. Neither width nor height is required. If only one of the two is specified, the picture will be proportionally resized. The scaling of the picture depends on the document renderer.
Insert a text item node or an image node
A (reusable) text item can be inserted as a child of a content item by dragging the text item onto the content item. A text item cannot be inserted as a child of an image.
An image can be inserted as a child of a content item by dragging the image onto the content item. When an image is dragged onto an image that is a child of a content item, the current image will be replaced.
Another way to insert new items is to select a node in the tree where you want to add something, then go to the Insert item part of the shortcut menu, select the type of item (content, text or image) and the item itself, and select one of three insertion possibilities: before, after or as a child of the selected node.
