What does this mean?

are you asking whether you can have this icon in expanded state and have the subview shown by default without clicking on it? I couldn't find a simple or direct method to do the same.

I don’t believe there is a property to drive subview expansion, but assuming you have a subview properly configured you could just invoke the linked subview expansion function as part of the component’s startup event. You might need to be careful about potentially waiting for the component to register it has data, as the startup event may fire before some bindings.
