Rows

In Chorus, a row is a line in a Chorus clause.  

In the past, they had different names, such as clause item or keyword. 

Row types 

Chorus has 2 types of row: 

1. Sentence-style
   
   
2. Property/value pair
   
    

A sentence-style row can have multiple inserts, but a property/value pair can only have 1 insert. 

Add a new row 

1. In the central editor panel, select the clause you want to edit. This will check out the clause to you. 
2. To the left of any existing row, there is a 3 dot menu.  
   
    
   To see the 3 dots, either: 
   1. Hover your mouse over a row,
      or 
   2. Select a row title. 
3. In the 3 dot row menu, there are 3 new row options:
   
   1. Insert new row above. 
   2. Insert new row below. 
   3. Insert new indented row below. 
4. Select the option you need.
   The new row is added in the location you requested:
   
    
   1. The new row automatically takes the next appropriate number in sequence. 
   2. The new row has a default title of New Item. 
   3. By default:
      1. In a new clause, the row will be a sentence-style row
      2. In a previously published clauses, the new row will be a property/value pair row. 
5. To save your changes, select the Save button to the right of the clause title. 

Edit row title 

In bundles, all row titles are editable by default. 

To edit a row title 

1. Check out the clause. 
2. Select the row title you want to change. 
3. Edit the title. 
4. Save your change. 

End of title colon 

You don’t have to add a colon at the end of a row title: 

Chorus will add a colon after the row title when the clause is checked in, or in any other read-only mode:

 

Long row titles 

When the clause is read only, any long row titles will wrap so the text is shown in full: 

 In edit mode, row titles are shown on one line. For long row titles, this may mean that some of the text is initially hidden:

To edit the text at the end of a long row title: 

1. Click into the row title. 
2. Use the keyboard right arrow key to move the cursor to the right, one character at a time,
   or
   Use the keyboard End button to go to the right hand end of the row.
   
    

Change row type 

Chorus has 2 types of row: 

1. Sentence-style
   
   
2. Property/value pair
   
     

To change the row type: 

1. Select the row. 
2. From the 3 dot menu to the left of the row, select Change row type.
   
    
3. The row will switch to the other row type: 
   1. A sentence-style row becomes a property/value pair. 
   2. A property/value pair becomes a sentence-style row. 
4. Save your change.

Known limitations 

• Long row titles are not fully visible in edit mode. 
• Converting row type can do weird things to existing content. If you get stuck, please reach out for help. 
• We don’t always match the new row type to that of the existing neighbouring rows.
