Create a Multi-Segment Column

Set up a Column that consists of multiple segments, with a configurable “Join” component between them.

To create Column segments, use either the Settings dialog or graphical interactions. Both methods are described below.

Notes:

Each segment has its own Classifications and Properties settings and its own Element ID. However, Category definitions (e.g. Renovation status) are inherited from the element level.

Find & Select, Labels, Info Box, and Interactive Element Schedule fields can use segment-specific data

Use Column Settings

1.Open Column Settings and go to the Segment page.

2.Click the Multi-Segment column icon.

3.Click Add to add as many segments as needed.

A “Join” component is automatically added between each segment.

4.View the Structure list to see segments and Joins. Select or multi-select to edit.

5.View the preview. The segment currently selected in the list is highlighted.
