Repeating tables.

Hi,
I have a complex scenario inside PDF.
My context nodes are:
A(cardinality 1..n, selection 0..1, singleton=true)
__B(cardinality 0..n, selection 0..1, singleton=true)
__C (cardinality 1..1, selection 1..1, singleton=false)
|__D(cardinality 0..n, selection 0..1, singleton=true)
(D is subnode of C, C is subnode of B, B is subnode of A)
For every row of first table (bound to node B), I have to show a table (bound to D)
The pattern is:
Table 1
first row of node B
Table2
Node D
Table1
2nd row of node B
Table2
Node D
Table1
nth row of nodeB
Table2
Node D
Is this something possible/feasible inside a PDF?
Thanks

I am using just 2 tables, instead.

How to loop and read repeating table data of infoPath form in Visual studio workflow.

Hi,
I am trying to read info Path form repeating table data in Visual studio workflow.
could anyone elaborate me in brief how to loop through repeating table and read all rows value one by one in workflow.
any help would be more then welcome.
Thanks...

Hi Rohan,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create a Visual Studio workflow to get data from info path repeating table.
I suggest you can submit Repeating Table to a SharePoint List and then you can create a .NET workflow to read data from the SharePoint List.
Here are some detailed articles for your reference:

Copying information from one repeating table to another repeating summary table?

Hi,
I have designed a dynamic form with a Table 1 (Investigator details) to be completed at the start to provide a list of investigators. This is a repeating table, and I have added buttons to add / delete an investigator (i.e. add/remove a row). I also have another repeating Table 2 at the end of the form to allow the investigators to be listed so they can insert a signature image (signature table).
Is it possible to set this up so that when one adds an investigator (row) in Table 1, a row is added automatically to Table 2? I then want the Title First name last name to copy into the "Investigator Full name" cell in Table 2. Can this be done and keep the automatic renumbering of the rows in both tables?
I am not sure how to upload a file to show you what I have, so please let me know and I can send a copy directly.
I would appreciate if anyone has any suggestions for a code to do this.

* In the select statement below you can select few fields depending upon your requirement
select * from tab1 into table itab1.
loop at itab1 into wa1.
wa2-f1 = wa1=f1.
append wa2 to itab2.
endloop.
insert itab2 into tab2.

How to handle a repeating table in FrameMaker 8 with varying columns

Hello,
I have a unstructred FrameMaker 8 table question that I hope someone can answer for me.
I have a RTF document that I have brought into FrameMaker 8.
The table came into FrameMaker without any major problems.
From FrameMaker 8, I now have to apply a special template to generate the special "Table Title" field, that allows the table to break across several pages; using the "Table Continuation Variable".
Also, I must use select the "Add Rows or Columns" option and choose "Add 1 Row to Heading", so that my "Table/Column/Head" row repeats on every table page.
With that said, here is where it gets interesting!
ISSUE #1
Usually, my next step is to add 20-30 rows to the last row on the first table page and then paste in the table data from the second (original) table into these new table cells. The end result is that the table will bump from page 1 to page 2 and "Table Title (Continued)" will automatically appear on the second table page - and so forth...
It is not the fastest way to handle RTF tables, but this is the only approach I know off-hand.
Does anyone know if there is a way to simply merge the legacy breaking tables together and then apply the "Table Continuation" variable and repeating Table Column Header row?
ISSUE #2
As mentioned above in Issue #1, I must manually add extra rows to the bottom of the first table page and then paste in the table data that flows over the next few pages.
But, my multi-page table is based on procedural steps and therefore some table pages have 4 columns, while others have 5 columns.
So, using the process stated above, I simply can't copy and paste.
I must now manually add another column to the affected table page. But when I do this, FrameMaker 8 naturally adds an additional column to the first table page. When that happens, I must then go back to the first table page and straddle the new column into the original column.
Does anyone know if there is a better way to handle these legacy (RTF) tables?
Overall, I am hoping that there is an easier way of handling a legacy (RTF) table that breaks over several pages and has different columns, based on the section in the table.
Thanks in advance for any solutions offered.
Regards,
Jim

Using the Current Function in a repeating table with cascading drop-downs

I have a Repeating Table where a customer can choose the values for three cascading drop-downs. I then want the member to start a new entry with the same cascading drop-downs but with different results based on their most current input not
based on all their input throughout the form. I also do not want the current input to affect previous inputs replacing what was already entered.
Please assist.

Hi,
Based on your description, you don't want to meet the following issues:
The first row returns back all the data from the list up to the value selected.
Any new item added, replaces the value in the other items.
Here is an article about InfoPath Repeating Table Lookup control on SharePoint List, refer to it:

Infopath submit button only works for the first row in a repeating table‏

Hi, I have a InfoPath Email submit button issue I could not figure out. I have a master/detail repeating table in my form, and one of fields is "EmailAddress" which shows customer's email address. I created a submit button and put the "EmailAddress"
field to "TO" object. When I tested it, the submit button only would return the first row of emailaddress from the repeating table, but not the rest of it..
What I want is when I highlighted a customer, and click the submit button, the current customer's email address would show up in "TO" list. I did some research and saw some suggestions about using current() function. So I put current() in the front,
like this:
current()/dfs:dataFields/d:vw_HZLeadLists/@EmailAddress
Still not working..Just return the first record of emailaddress from master repeating table... Does anyone know what's going on here? Thanks a lot!

Hello,
Use double eval to get all rows values. See my reply for more information in below thread:
eval(eval(EmailAddress, 'concat(ToField, ";")'), "..")

Repeating Table in Template -- Can't Edit It

Hi --
I created a template
http://www.practice.thelegatogroup.com/Templates/employee_list.dwt
) to be
used as a list of employees for a client. For the employee
list I used a
repeating table. All seemed to go OK when I created the
initial list of
employees
http://www.practice.thelegatogroup.com/employees/employees_al.htm
However, when I opened the page a few days later to add a new
employee I
couldn't. In fact, none of the controls (add row, delete row,
move up, move
down) work. To make matters worse, when I create a new page
based on the
above template I can add no new rows.
I've gone over things several times and can't figure out what
I did wrong.
Can someone take a look for me?
Thanks,
John

I have actually had a similar issue like this before and it was a simple fix once I figured it out.
Move the folder that is in the trash to your Desktop. Open it and then move the folder that is in there to the trash. You should be able to empty the trash. Next move the empty folder that you had put on the Desktop back into the trash and you should be able to empty it again.
Also, you should run an app like DiskWarrior, TechTool Pro or Drive Genius that can rebuild the volume directories.

How to keep track of count from repeating table - INFOPATH 2007

I have a repeating table with two columns: Title (dropdownlist 'A') and
Count (integer). Let's assume the user picks Title1
with count of 3 and next row, Title2 with count
2. Now, I have a repeating section which contains a dropdownlist
'B' that uses 'A' as a datasource. I need to develop a fucntionality to put some validation on dropdownlist
B, where you should throw error if user inserts more than 3 repeating sections that has
Title1 and no more than 2 repeating sections where dropdownlist
B has Title2.

Hi,
To get the count of the repeating tables dynamically with custom logic, custom code behind the InfoPath form will be required.
The link below will show how to count the total amount of sections in a Repeating Section in InfoPath on the change event of the repeating section, you can apply extra custom
logic to it to meet your requirement:

Master/Detail? Repeating Tables - Combine data from 2 repeating tables to one cell in sharepoint

Hi there, new to infopath. I have 2 sections in my form which are hidden and display based on the department selected. So Department A versus Department B, a section opens for details pertaining to that Department. So in each
section I have similar information requirements, similar but not exactly the same. Now I was able to create hidden fields that will concat the values from both sections in the instances of similar data (i.e. Name, Department location, etc, so if Department
A fills in Name on their section, then someone else submits the same form for Department B I still have one column of metadata in SP to displace the Name regardless of department or section they filled data into). However now I am stuck, I have repeating
tables in both sections and I want to concate the entries to output to the sharepoint list for that cell. However everything I have tried so far only concats the 1st value in the repeating table. Is there a way to take ALL of the data from
two repeating tables and merge them into one column/cell in sharepoint (metadata for the one form entry)??? I want to avoid having to create a excessive "views" of a list in order to accomodate the needs for BOTH departments. I hope
this is clear. Thanks for your help!

I created a repeating table but want to add a "do you really want to delete this row" prompt.

Let me clarify, I created a repeating table which allows users in Adobe Reader to add or delete rows. However, if user inadvertently hits delete, the row and any data is lost with no way to undo. So, I'd like to either add a pop up prompt for user to confirm they want to execute action or create an undu option somewehre else on the form. Can this be done?
Message was edited by: deanotn

Yes you can do it using app.alert().
var nButton = app.alert({
cMsg: "Warning: This will delete the row and all data in it. \n\nDo you want to continue?",
cTitle: "Delete Row",
nIcon: 1, nType: 2
if (nButton == 4) {

Value in repeating table

Good day, colleagues. I have InfoPath form the "Waybill car." In a separate cell indicates the initial meter reading at the time of receiving shift. In repeating table set field: Route (text), Mileage (in this field is the final meter reading at
the place of arrival, km) distance. During the shift the number of routes can be from 5 to 20. Need to adjust the form to automatically calculate the range (distance) for each route in a separate field.
Example:
Initial indications: 310 km.
Repeating Table: Route:
Object 1 Mileage: 315 Distance, km: 5.
Object2 Mileage: 323 Distance, km 8 ....
How can I insert in the "distance" from the previous field "Mileage"?

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to get the field “distance” value based on the previous field "Mileage" in the repeating table of InfoPath.
For achieving your demand, you need to create the fields “Initial indications (km)” with Number type, “Mileage (km)” with Number type in the repeating table ,”
Distance (km)” with Number type in the repeating table.
Then you can create a rule as below on the Mileage (km) field:
Condition: Mileage (km) is not blank
Action: Set a field’s value : Distance (km) = Mileage (km) - Initial indications (km)

Eric

Hi,
Something needs to clarify, is the "Basket" a SharePoint list or it's format table ?
If the "Basket" is a list, then you can create custom rule to the format table like the detailed article below:

Repeating Tables, and Grey Sections

U gave Adobe Livecycle Designer ES4.
I am making a new form, and I am attempting to make an expandable table for our metrics. I added in the form but when I try to go to the binding tab it wont let me select the "Repeat Table" box. Is there a setting that I am missing?
My second question is, is there a way to "grey out" a section of a form? We are looking for a way to cover up a section of a form, where the user can select or deselect to see what is underneath that section. My other thought is if that was not possible, is there a way to make an invisible subform with a button to make it visible and invisible?

Hi Sara,
1) The first problem is because you did not set the Page content direction to "Flowed". Once the Page's Content property is set is flowed, your problem should be resolved.
2) You can always make a section visible or hidden by scripting. Use code :
               subform.presence = "visible";
                         or
               subform.presence = "hidden";
Thanks,
VJ
