Hello,

I am just starting with ADS and so I have a lot of questions on this topic. Some are already answered (by looking through the forum) but a couple of questions are still waiting for an answer :-).

I want to develop an "application" with the ADS. I want to create a form for online and offline data recording.

Some facts about my first form:

- The employee should be able to record data on- and offline.

- The employee has a table with some fields

- One field is for a list of product he is responsible for. So he should only see his products and not the products of the other colleges

- The employee should be able to send his filled form via e-mail or can interact directly with the server

For this scenario I have a couple of questions and maybe someone is so kind to bring some light in the darkness:

- When the user shall only see his products... how can I do this? I am just thinking about that the user has the ability to download a form especially for him with the data that are for him. Is this right or how can the data be filtered by some attributes?

- How can I add dynamically a row to an table or (instead of a table) a set of fields by pressing a button like "new line"

- What software the employee needs to save the filled forms. Is it possible with the adobe reader or is it neccessary that he has the adobe writer?

There are so many things I don't know about it. How would you get started with this topic? Where can I find informations regarding my scenario?

Thanks in advance and a good start into the week to all of you,

Vanessa

Hi Vanessa,

As per my understanding you want to implement both online and offline scenario.

Online Scenario:

You can use either Webdynpro ABAP or Java to buid an application for online scenario. In this you can call your emplyee BAPI . Create an interactive form with all the employe fields and a submit button.

For this scenario you can directly post data through webdynpro.

Offline scenario.

First you develop a form and also write a FM where it will take employenumber or id as input and extracts the remaining values and display in the form(depending on the employee number). And rest of the fields empoloyee can fill and send it back through email. Here you can use Business Communication Service for reading email and updating the SAP database directly.

There are docs available in SDN.

And for your second question regarding dynamic table: It is pretty much posible to add rows and update the data in SAP. you can go through my thread for this:

3) Adobe reader is enough for the end user to fill and submit the form.

You can also go through following links:
