1. Overview
The
Fold Content property for
list and
spreadsheet-type reports helps you control the display of lengthy field data in
rich text and
multiline fields if the content exceeds 250 characters. In
list and
spreadsheet-type reports, this property can be enabled in both quick view and detail view. For other report types, it is applicable only in detail view.
