Hi All,

If there is large amount of logical data in single section how can we separate it for better visual experience without adding empty text fields? Is there a different way in Appian apart from adding blank text fields ?

Thanks,
Kaushik

I'm not sure how large your data is, what type of data you're using, or the size of the field(s) that displays your data, but I suggest playing with combinations of the following functions which will help split your data for displaying purposes:

1. char(09) -Adds indentation (i.e. value: char(09) & ri!data)
2. split() - splits text based on delimiter within text
3. leftb() - returns only a specified number of bytes starting from the left.
4. apply()

Note: You may have to do some conversion of your data (i.e. tostring(), touniformstring(), tointeger(), etc...). Hope this helps.
