Use Stacked Zone options to define properties for a simple form
arrangement with stacked zones.
These include:
- Mode: Define different form
arrangements based on which form is displayed.
- Name: Name to use within
CSM
for the stacked zone.
- Location of Data: Where the data to
display in the stacked zone is retrieved (Business Object or relationship).
- Display Mode: How to display the data in the stacked zone
(view-only form, editable form, or results list).
- Visibility: When to display or hide the
stacked zone. By default, a zone is always visible unless you define an
expression to hide it.

name either comes from the primary Business Object or from the relationship;
however, you can provide a custom name.
