Rules for Repeating Groups

The following rules apply to the creation of repeating groups:

Only one repeating group is allowed in a panel layout.
A field must be complete on one line.
All repeating fields in the group must be contiguous.
To create a repeating field or group in a panel:
1. Specify a field using the new‑field symbol.
2. Use the field summary table to make the field into a repeating group as described below.
The fields in a repeating group copied from one location to another in the panel layout are duplicated as elementary fields at the receiving location. This is true even when the entire repeating group is copied.
A repeating group copied from a dataview to the panel is reduced to elementary fields. The group name and repeat factor are not copied. For more information about copying from a dataview, see the section titled Copying Fields from a Dataview later in this chapter.
You cannot define a repeating group on the summary table while copy and move operations are pending in the panel layout.
