Syntax

@IsExpandable
@IsExpandable( trueString )
@IsExpandable( trueString ; falseString )

Parameters

trueString

Text. A string to return if the view row is expandable.

Text. A string to return if the view row is not expandable.

specifiedString

Text

No parameters:

• Returns + (plus) if the entry is expandable
• Returns – (minus) if the entry is not expandable
Single trueString argument:
• Returns the trueString instead of + if the entry is expandable
• Returns nothing if it is not expandable
Both trueString and falseString:
• Return trueString instead of +
• Return falseString instead of –

Use @IsExpandable in column formulas to indicate whether the current level of documents can be expanded. This function does not work in any other formula.

In the single parameter and two parameter forms, you should limit the string to a single character, especially if the lines already have a lot of text in them.
