Matrix
A Matrix container manages a screen array, usually a repetitive array of fields in the screen layout, each containing identical groups of screen fields.
Each row of a screen array is a screen record.
Right-click on a field to Convert to Matrix and set its Matrix properties. The Structure View marks matrix fields with a preceding + sign.

| repeat | Determines if field repeats. Default is checked (TRUE). |
| columnCount | Number of columns of repeated fields. |
| rowCount | Number of rows of repeated fields. Minimum value is 1. Both columnCount and rowCount cannot be 1, otherwise the field would be a standard formField and not a repeated field. |
| stepX | Number of cells (horizontally) between the repeated fields. (Relevant only if columnCount > 1.) |
| stepY | Number of cells (vertically) between the repeated fields. (Relevant only if rowCount > 1.) |
