Function documentationMelting Group

 

In the Floorplan Manager (FPM), melting groups are a way of presenting fields next to each other. This is useful where a field only has meaning when qualified by another field. A typical example is amount and currency; neither one on its own is particularly meaningful, so we can put them together in a melting group.
