Hi All,
Please follow these steps to create tables in adobe interactive forms.
Lets us take this example. We want to display employee information. The following fields are the one that we are going to display:
1. employeenumber
2. First name
3. last name.
First insert a "interactive form UI element" in the view. Create a value node and bind it to the data source of the UI element.
Create a subnode called "Employee".
Create 3 value attributes to display the 3 values.
Open the form designer. Insert a subform. change its type to "flow content"(default is position content) and in the next drop down, choose the value as type "table".
insert one more subform into this subform. change its type to "flow content" and from the dropdown, choose the value as "table row" and in the tab "binding", click the checkbox "min" and have its value as 1.
now drag the elements from the data hierarchy into the second subform.
save the form in the designer.
go to the view implementation and populate the nodes with the value. if this is within a loop, the content of the second subform is repeated giving the user a "table".
I hope the steps are clear.
