Grouping Widgets in a Form

Hi,

In Protege i can customize forms of the essential meta model classes. However, I can not use Group Boxes or static Text labels or sections to group the information.

Is there a way which I didn't see?

Hi Wolfgang,
I did a quick scan of the Protege API but there does not seem to be any method that would allow you to group fields. http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/Protege3DevDocs

As you are probably aware, you should be able to set the label of any widget through either the form editor or the API

Hope this helps

You can add read-only text slots to classes to create some fields on the form to work as descriptions about the form.
Also, it's easy to re-label any of the forms and importantly the tool-tips which provide a cleaner way to describe how to complete each form field.

There are no widgets like borders or frames in the standard Protege form-set but you can of course, relayout the form and organise the fields into any logical grouping that makes best sense to you.
