Adding an interactive table to a form?

Okay, I am really new to using Adobe Pro and kind of brain dead with JavaScript. I'm using the LiveCycle Designer to create a form and I want to add a table that expands as data is entered, or create a button that allows additional rows to be added as needed. I was trying to follow a little how-to-guide I found, but after I follow the instructions my codes don't work for the buttons I created to add a row. Please help

Just a couple of minor changes ......I attached the updated version.
1. The page subform that will house the table must be set to flowed ...otherwise when it reaches the bottom it will not create a new page for you.
2. Your Table was named Table1 but you referenced it as Table in the commands hence th eobject could not be found.
3. I moved the add row button outside of the table so that it woudl not repeat for each row.
4. I updated the code on the delete row button to delete the row that you are on ...otherwise it woudl take the 1st occurance out.
Let me know what you think

Adding a new table in smart form

HI,
I want to add a new table to a smartform. like say i want to print LIKP-ROUTE in the main window of the smart form, (islikp like likp)
I have added this table in the table tab of form interface, then in the mainwindow, i have added a new loop and mentioned
islikp into islikp.
and in text i have mentioned
route : &likp-Route&.
But its giving a dump.
Do i have to a create a new program and add the function module.
pls suggest.
Thanks,

If you are passing the internal table values from the driver program, then you need to export the internal table from the driver program and have to declare it in the 'Tables" tab of the form interface in the smartform.
Eg:-
CALL FUNCTION wrk_funcmodu
    EXPORTING
ARCHIVE_INDEX              =
ARCHIVE_INDEX_TAB          =
ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS         =
     control_parameters         = st_cntrl
MAIL_APPL_OBJ              =
MAIL_RECIPIENT             =
MAIL_SENDER                =
     output_options             = st_outopt_info
USER_SETTINGS              = 'X'
      invoiceno                  = wrk_doc_num
      invoicedt                  = wrk_doc_dt
   IMPORTING
DOCUMENT_OUTPUT_INFO       =
     job_output_info            = st_prnout_info
JOB_OUTPUT_OPTIONS         =
    TABLES
      it_likp                = it_likp
If the internal table value is not passed from the driver program and if it has to be used inside the smartform then declare the internal table in the "Global definitions", under the tab "Global data".
*intenal table declaration
Variable name type assignment            Associated type
IT_LIKP            TYPE TABLE OF     LIKP
WA_LIKP             TYPE          LIKP
loop the internal table it_likp to loop into the work area wa_likp.
drag and drop(from the fiel list) the work area field to the text element.

Interactive table control in Adobe forms

Dear gurus,
I am trying to create an interactive table control with header. The table control will have 10 rows, and I want the users to be able to enter values into the table.
I created a new node with cardinality 0...n; and added attributes under it. The I dragged that onto my design view and made duplicate entries of the rows to get 10 rows under the header.
Now the issues I am having are
1) The table is not visible in preview Pdf; I tried to save and activate the form, but still appears to be invisible
2) For some strange reason the table control in adobe forms is not as flexible as the one in webdynpro, where it is easier to bind the fields and send / recieve data from the interface.
~thanks and appreciate any comments.

when your cardinality is 0..n you won't see it in preview mode.. you need to launch it from your dynpro & you will see it.
Also, if you know you're going to have 10 rows all the time, why not make the cardinality 1...n?
Nevertheless, I personallly wouldn't create the table in this method.
I would create the table in Web dynpro, add a column called "SeqNo" or whatever and pre-populate that field with 1 - 10. When you drag/drop your table from your Data View, just rt-click that column and hide it so your users won't see that field.
You'll have 10 rows displayed to the user each time and you won't worry about having to bind anything since it'll be done automagically.

Adding data to multiple tables using one form in Access 2010?

Hi All,
I have a access database with two tables and I want to create a single form to enter data into that tables.
How to adding data to multiple tables using one form in Access 2010?
I don't have to much knowledge of access database?
Please help me
Thanks
Balaji

You really don't enter identical data into 2 tables. You enter dat into one single table, and then you have an unique identifier that maps to another table (you have a unique relationship between two tables).
Maybe you need to read this.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/access-help/database-design-basics-HA001224247.aspx
Think about it this way... What is you update data in 2 tables, and then the data in one of those tables changes, but the data in the other table does NOT change. WHOOPS!! Now, you've got a BIG problem. For instance, you have a customer
named Bill Gates. In one Table you update Bill's address to 1835 73rd Ave NE, Medina, WA 98039 and in the other table you accidentally update Bill's address to 183 73rd Ave NE, Medina, WA 98039. Now you have 2 addresses for Bill. Why would
you want that??? Which is right? No one knows. If you have one address, you just have to update one address and if there is a mistake, you just have to update one address, but you don't have to waste time trying to figure out which is right
and which is wong...and then update the one that is wrong.
Post back with specific questions.
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

Merging of cells of a dynamic table in adobe form

Hi,
I am trying to Merge 2 columns in a dynamic table in adobe form.The requirement is to merge column 3 and column 4 if column 4 is empty. I used the below javascript code in both "Form ready " and Initialize event of the row.
if (this.Cell4.rawValue == " ")
this.Cell3.colSpan = "2";
this.Cell4.presence = "hidden";
Note : Since above code was not working , i used the below code in my subform also but it did not returned desired output.
if(Table22.Row1.Cell1.rawValue == " ")
Table22.Row1.Cell3.colSpan = "2";
Table22.Row1.Cell4.presence = "hidden";
The problem is that in my dynamic table , its the second row where the requirement is fulfilled ie in the 2nd entry of my table the column4 is blank (the exact row number might change depending on input data).
is there a way to loop in the dynamic table and check if column 4 is empty for a particular row.
the above code does not help to fulfill my requirements. kindly help.
Thanks

Problem with table in Adobe Form in Web Dynpro JAVA??

Hello all,
I have an issue with the table displaying all the node values in the Adove Form. Right now it displays only the first element of the Node even if there are multiple entries.
Not sure what is going wrong here.
How is the table created in a interactive form? Any help is appreciated.
Thank you, John

Siva,
I referred to the website, but still having issues with generating tables in Adobe Form. I can get all the table rows in the adove form, but the pdf doee not add new pages to display all the table rows. It just createa one page with the table inside it, display few of the rows and truncates rest of the table data.
Here is the heirarchy of the page with the properties set
Master Pages ---
        ||--> Page 1
                 ||--> content area
                 ||--> subfrom (properties:: Content - Flowed / Flow direction - top to bottom...pagination tab is greayed out completly)
                            ||--> Table
                                      ||--> HeaderRows (Object: Row - Type: Header Row)
                                      ||--> Row1 (Object Tab/Binding: Repeat Row for each data item - checked)
Can't make it wor, not sure what's wrong here
I am using NDS 7.0 SP18 and Adobe LiveCycle 8.0. Does that could be a problem.
Appreciate your help

How can I add a fillable table to my form?

How do I create a form that includes a fillable table in FormsCentral? I need to create a form that is similar to an order form with multiple spaces available for Quantity, Item Description, and Cost. Then I need it to calculate a total cost for all items. Can I do that using FormsCentral? If not, what is your solution? Keeping in mind that I want people to be able to complete the form electronically instead of pringing it and filling it out.
Thanks,

Forms created/designed in FormsCentral don't support calculations. FormsCentral also doesn't support tables on the form. You can add fields side by side but it won't be exactly like a table. You best solution is to create a PDF outside of FormsCentral. You can use Acrobat to add form fields and caulculations to your form.
Once you have the PDF Form you can import it in FormsCentral to collect data electronically. People will need to fill out your Submission enabled PDF Form using Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader or Adobe Reader Mobile and then press the submit button added by FormsCentral to send the data electronically to your Response Table inside FormsCentral.
hope this helps

"Providing interactive database lookup from forms" sample doesn't work with Acrobat Reader 7

I have downloaded and tested the Adobe sample "Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0, Providing interactive database lookup from forms". Everything works great in Acrobat Professional Full version, however, when I tested it in Acrobat Reader 7.0.5, it generated a "script failed..." message.
Did anybody have the same problem? You can download the sample from here:

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi Jie,
Database connectivity is a feature supported in Acrobat only , not Reader--unless the PDF has been extended with Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions.

Forms Designer - Unable to remove Child Table from the form

Hello,
While testing adding additional attributes, I have assigned an additional child table to the form. However I am not able to remove it. I get an error message: "This version has been made active. Add/Update/Delete not allowed."
I tried creating new version and making it active to remove 'active' status from the form I modified, but still getting the same error. What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance.

creating new version and making it active to remove 'active+'
Make new version then remove child form and then make version active..
You are making version active b4 removing child table.
Don't change the sequence which I have written above.

Adding dropdown in table

hi friends,
I have a table in the form in which I am adding the rows on press of a button.
but the dropdown doesnt work for the newly added row.
what must I do for that?

Hi Otto,
Thanks for replying.
the suggestion you made is one of the work around .
But I find if you want to achieve this dynamically having the F4 help button to each row or the Value help then we have to do following steps.
1. Go to the form layout .
2. Go to Data view .
3. In Data View place the cursor and right click . A popup window will come with different check boxes.
4. Uncheck the option "Generate Tables".
5.You will see that the tables which you can see in to the Data view will get converted to subforms.
6.The table will get conveted to a flowed subform and the Row will get converted in a position one which contains all the columns of the tables.
7. Drag the whole Table Subform to the Design Layout . Then place F4 help button in to the Row Subform.
8. Then Add buttons which will have javascript to add instances of the Row subform.
Please check the bindings of the subforms then you will get a clear cut idea .
By this way your F4 button will work properly in the dynamic table scenarios.

Sandipan Das

ADF table and ADF form on the same view object

Hi,
As per the ADF demos available on ADF site, I created a jsf page with 2 panels. One panel is an ADF table based on a view object. And the other panel is and ADF form based on the same view object. My requirement is that as I scroll through the records in the ADF table, the ADF Form should dynamically display the details of the record in the ADF table. My understanding is that this should be automatic. However, its not working as expected. What have I missed?

Hi,
Apply PPR for form that displays details.
Like :
<af:table id="t3">
</af:table>
<af:panelFormLayout id="pfl2" partialTriggers="t3">
</af:panelFormLayout >

How can multiple check boxes be added at one time to a form?

How can multiple check boxes be added at one time to a form?

Thanks for your response, but copying and pasting creates a link. If the user places a check mark in one of the boxes, all the rest of the boxes will have a check mark also. I will research this some more.

How to use nested tables in adobe form

Hi All,
I have to use nested tables in adobe form for table display. I have used Subforms for displaying table data. I have changed accessibility of the subforms. Currently i am able to print print the table correctly if there is single material record in table 1 and single corresponding record in table 2. But the requirement is that i will have multiple lines in table 1 for single material and only one record in table 2.
EX: form is for Sales order. in line items if the order is for 100 units then we if we have delivered material as 80, 10, 10, then table 1 will have 3 lines for this. Table 2 will always have only 1 corresponding record.
item--materialdescription-ordered qty--delivered qty--delivery date-price
xxx--xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-10080xxxxxxxxxx-xxxx
10----
xxxxxxxxxx
10----
xxxxxxxxxx
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy------yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
xxxxxx is table 1 and will have multiple lines
yyyyyy is table 2 and will have only 1 entry for item xxx
and this group will be repeate as per no of items. table 1 can have any no of lines per item.
I am currently able to display 1 line for table 1 and 1 line for table 2.
But how to show multiple lines for table 1 and 1 line for table 2.

HI,
Set the body page as flowed and set the tables also flowed.
go to bodypage>object->subform-->select flowed option.
I thihnk this will work..if u are getting all the records properly into the tables 1 and 2.
Thanks,

How do I get to have more than 20 columns in a table in adobe form?

I see that there is limitaion to not have more than 20 columns in my table in adobe form, Is there any way I can have more than 20 columns in a table in adobe form in landscape mode.

Hi,
That only relates to the Table Wizard. Once the table is placed on the page, you can add columns manually, from the menu or right-clicking on a column.
You can also use fields within a repeating subform (instead of the table object).
Good luck,
Niall
