Pagination problem...

[Former Member]

hi all,

my requirement is, I have two tables one below the other... Both displaying the same data from the EKPO table. Depending on the contract the table rows are dynamically increasing. But both the tables merge together if the table rows are many..

According to my requirement, if there are 10 rows, the data must be displayed in the first table and after the first table ends, the second table shoud start and display the data. The thing is the content of the page below the table should move according to the size of the first table.

For this what are the conditions I should give in Pagination Property.

Place =

Keep With =

After =

If dataset must be paginated =

No problem Even if it is going to next page....

How to make the data appear in the next page and the contents below the first table shoul move accordingly to the number of rows.

Hi Saxena,

If I keep the property as FLOWED the text fields and tables are changing the alignment.

How to align after setting the property as FLOWED..?

HI Surya,

You can control the left margin and top margin by setting the X and Y of Content Area linked to that body page.

for remaining fields , like suppose you have to create 2 text fields one under another with some space in between them . so u can insert a blank text field with binding 'None ' and remove the label. and set appropriate height and width of this field. for eg the height of this field = dist between the 2 fields.

And suppose u want to create 2 fields horizontally separated like this text field1 text field2

then u create a subform which will be positioned , inside that from u create these 2 fields , wherein u can specify X and Y co-ord of these fields.

hi Nikhil,

I already kept two sub forms. One table in each sub form and set the property as flowed. It is still not working.. What should I do know. Should I keep a empty page so that it can flow to that page..?

In HIERARCHY of Form Builder, under the MAIN, at first master pages and my PAGE1 are there...

so , What should I do to make the table flow to the next page..?

Hi,

Just check if the body page is flowed or not .even if you create an empty page that wont help bcoz your table can have data thata can span more than 2 pages.

hi Surya,

have you checked the checkbox "Repeat Subform for each Data item" under the binding tab? keep the pagination values as default.

hi Saxena,

I tried keeping the main sub form as flowed.. but the thing is i have some other text fields and texts in my form. if I keep the sub form as flowed the allignment of these fields also changes and cannot be changed to old position again.

If it is compilsory to keep the main sub form flowed, then how can we change the alignment of the other fields..?

Hi sachin,

the pagination properties are kept as such. (DEFAULT)..

Dont wrap these subforms in any other subform. Let them be on their own. Are these tables being displayed in the first page.

Hi Surya,

I have a worked on a similar scenario...

I kept it as two subforms... no main subform, one for header which is positioned and other for item, which is flowed and then in binding kept "Repeat subform for each data item" and deafult pagination.

It's working fine for me,

Hi Surya,

If your body page is not flowed then it will definitely not work , even if ur subforms are flowed. you will have to adjust other text fields by inserting blank text fields .

hi,

My tables , text fields and other texts are in the first page ( of course it is the only page in my form builder ).

the main subform i meant earlier is the body page.. I didnt keep the body page as flowed. Other than that, I have 2 subforms and 2 tables, each table in each subform with property "Flowed" and "Allow page breaks with Content". and in binding I have kept "repeat sub form for each data item".

Is there any other property to be set..?

Hi Surya,

You need to set Body page to "flowed" , chk with this , leave other settings as such.

hi,

it is done.. but the tables merged in the same page..

[nikhilkup]

You can resolve this by wrapping the tables in 2 different sub forms and making them flowed.

Hi,'

What ur r saying is the natural behaviour of tables in forms. Just chk if the body page is flowed and the 2 subforms in which there are both the tables shd also be flowed.
