Table and template in smartforms

what r the diff.s between TABLE AND TEMPLATE in smartforms..
ALso.. the diff. between LOOP and TABLE.. in smartforms..

Hi,
Template :
1. No of rows & coloumns are fixed.
2. u can directly mention, which data has to be fill in which row & coloumn.
3. Templates are used, where u r having static no of data.
( ex : Name, rollno, age, ***)
4. No header & footer
Table :
1. No of cols are fixed, u can have 'n' no of rows.
2. it has header & footer concept
A table is meant to be used to display dynamic number of lines (eg. invoice line items), whereas a template is for fixed number of column and lines (labels).

Diffrence between Table and Template In Smartform

Hi,
Please could u tel me Difference between Table and Template In Smartform

Table exteds dynamically.
Template is fixed in size.
template is Output of a table containing static data
these are the Possible direct successors-All except window, page, table,
and template nodes
Table - Output of a table containing application
data and these are the Possible direct successors-as with template node
Template is used for proper allignment of data which table is used for displaying multiple data.
We can say Template is for static data and Table is for dynamic data.
Suppose we have a requirement in which we have to allign the customer address in such a way as shown below:-
Name- Krishna Company- WIPRO Location- Chennai
Desig- S/W Native - Mumbai
Then for proper allighnment we can create a template and split that into 3 columns and 2 rows and create text elements for each cell display a proper allighned data at the output.
When we include a template inside a loop it gives the same property as a table.
When we have mutiple data which is to be extended to the next page like when we display all employee details in a company we use table.
Table has 3 sections , HEADER, ITEM ,FOOTER
The header secntion will be executed once and it will loop at the item level. at the end footer will be executed.

Diff. between table and template in smartforms

hi there,
please tell me what the diff. between table and template options available in smartforms

HI
GOOD
TABLES=>
In forms of business procedures you usually want to list details such as open items of an invoice. You can use a Smart Form to display this data in a table. You can design the layout of the table independent of the number of lines it will contain. The size of the table depends on how much data the application program passes to the form at runtime (unlike with templates, where you specify the number of columns and lines explicitly). The table can cover one or more pages, depending on the number of lines. This is why you display tables in the main window.
TEMPLATES=>
Use node type Template to display a table whose layout and size (number of lines and columns) is determined before the runtime of the application program. For this reason, a template is also called a static table.
To create a template, define a table layout to determine the cell structure for each line. The cells are used to display the contents of the inferior nodes of the template node. This allows you to position text and a graphic side by side (see Displaying Graphics in Templates).
The template node is also suited for label printing.

Use of table and template in Smartform

Hi,
I need an output in the smartform as shown below in the form of a table. I have tried doing this only with the use of template(create->Template) but I am not able to print the heading using text elements one after another. Only the first cell is getting populated with the heading.
I assume this can be accomplished with a template as well as a table.
Can anyone please let me know how this can be done?
Any help would be appreciated.
heading 1          <data>
heading2           <data>
heading3           <data>
Thanks
SR

template is 4 , when u know , how many rows u want , u can use.
If u dnt know then use Table .
Now when u creat text element u have to assign row number ,
and colomn number .
for that click on text element go to ouput option.
then only it will display in perticular row/col.
if u didnt assign , default it will come in 1st row nd col.

Multiple tables and templates in a main window

Hi,
Is it possible to have multiple tables and templates in a main window of a smartform?
If so then how they are positioned in the main window? Means which table to come first and which to be the next?
Thanks in advance.........
Prinan

Hi!
both tables and templates can be printed any number of times ina main window.
The tables as in sequence are printed...after ending with the first it gets on to the another.
If u want to print it under some cdonditions you can do it using the condition tabs.As per it is a main window the dats gets flowing to the next page so as the order goes thae data goes on printed.

In smart forms-- difference between table and template

can you please tell me what is the difference between table and template in smart forms,
and als give me some object developed in smart forms.

it is not recommended because, when ever we activate the smartform it generates one function module.
if we transport that driver program and smartform to testing or production, in that server the generated function module name will be differ.
hope u got it.
for this we need to use these function modules.
SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME

Import Table and Template Table

Hi all,
I have a question regarding Data Services Component. What are the difference between "Import Table" and "Template Table"?
Thanks,

Hi,
Template table means temporary table. It will take all the input data. We don't need to create this table. Import table means you are importing already created table. That means you had already defined the field names and field lengths. Hope this helps.
Thanks,

What is exact difference between table and template in script

hello all
what is exact difference between table and template in script

Hi there.
Tables alow you to achieve more complex flows with internal tables. You can use different types os lines, like footer, header, line items, and differente types of line items. Also, and most important, you have different processing blocks, again header block (processed before processing of first row), body block (rows) and footer block (after last row or page break).
If you don't need any of this, use a template inside a loop to achieve something like a table. I personaly use templates only to draw lines, for example, before and after a loop, or to align some header in my documents.
A table, is a loop and template mixed to become a very good tool.

Creating tabs using nested tables and templates

Hello all - Hopefully everyone had a good Easter !
is it possible to create a template of the tab structure i
want, and then insert this new template and modify the colours for
each different tab link / page link? ie, all the tabs will have the
same links but will have different colours on different pages.
you're welcome to jump on my website at
http://www.bondimigration.com.au/overview_10.html
to get an idea of what I'm talking about..

Use a server-side include for the menu on each page, give
each button a
unique ID, and use a page-specific stylesheet (either linked
or embedded) to
change the style values for the selected button.

Templates in smartform

Hai All,
I want to know what the use of templates in smartform, and difference between table and templates. I know template is static and table is dynamic but i wnat more details.
Why sap brings template in smartform?
Thanks
Alex

Hi Alexander,
when you define a table, in fact you define row type.
After that, you use a row type with data.
when you define a template, you have the whole struture in statitc.
Example: imagine you have items, but for some item, you would like to print text. The row type will be different, you don't know the size (number of line) of your text. So you can only use the table.

Hi JV,
Yes you can create rows dynamically in a table in IF. You can follow the instruction in [this link|Re: Dynamic Table - same data repeating in all rows] to create the dynamic table.
Also refer to these links:
[Data in dynamic table not pass to webdynpro java|https://forums.sdn.sap.com/click.jspa?searchID=16436680&messageID=5638776]
