Data SELECTION Offsets
Row/child record: Set the number of lines you want to advance in the data page with each duplication of an object or group. In the case of a database emulation, this is the number of records you want to advance in the record set with each duplication of an object or group. This permits each copy to display a distinct selection of data. Note that this offset does not work with objects that use custom data selections.
Column: Set the number of columns you want to advance in the data page with each duplication of an object or group. This permits each copy to display a distinct selection of data. Note that this offset does not work with objects that use custom data selections. This offset has no effect in database emulation.
Click OK.
