Main window in smartforms

[Former Member]

Hi expert,

My main window is exactly fitting / joining when i execute with single line item. But executing multiple line Items main window doesn’t fit/ joining with next window. What could be the trouble?  It should be connecting next window exactly for all types lines items…How to do?

Thanks

Hi Shree,

1.You can  increase the distance between your main window and the other window so that for multiple line items they don't touch each other

2.Also you can decrease the line size, to accommodate more line items.

Hi Shree,

I might want to adjust the Table line / Template in which you are printing the data. Also please check the Paragraph format settings.

Could u please give the screenshot of the issue.

Check indent spacing after and before line in smartstyle .... I hope what you mean is that you are getting spaces between two lines . If indent spacing does not work apply &<Field-Name>(C)& to avoid spaces between lines.

Hi Shree,

Use templates and reduce the Line size. Also you  can  create a new paragraph format and select small fonts to reduce the gaps between the line items.

Hi Shree,

Please check, is there any other windows below the main window. If so, move that window below the main window.

I am assuming that you are using table to display the line item data. Also try adjusting the main window and the next window size.

Hii Shree,

You can try to use table or template to display multiple item in your smartforms.

Hi Shree..

               What does your top and bottom windows contain. I think it will be helpfull to you if you define every thing in MAIN  window. Use table for printing dynamic values. and Templates for static values and Fixed texts. Check the screen shot below.

Hi Expert,

         following method is my main window it's dynamic values used Table...Unable to join exactly with bottom,

I hope  we can't adjust the window..It's already 9 cm height.. i tired minimum height..to join..

We need to fix the main window with bottom window exactly..either 3 items or 1 items it should be fixed with main window..

if you give space in text editor main window extends more than bottom window...

Thanks

Hi Shree,

Main window is dynamic i.e. if there is more data it will overflow to next page. Now what i understand by your concern is that you need a fix format which shall be always same in display. If you are using table it will float according to the Lines in the Itab.

What we do to avoid this we use to create a secondary window exactly the size of the main window with same height/width/alignment and create the template inside this window. This acts as a outer frame which will be fixed and does not depends on the number of data.

Others has also suggested you to use this in the same way.

Mark the answer correct or helpful if it helps to resolve the issue as it will be helpful to others who are facing the similar problem, they can identify the correct/helpful answer.

Hi Rahul,

       Yes we have option to use template but when we get more than 3 items or 10 items 15, how can manage in template. It should be extendable…

In the main window I have given enough space where necessary items should display excessive line items should display on next page..

Should we use secondary & template dumpy purpose under main window…?

Can i use TEMPLATE instead of Table when we have multiple line items?

Thanks

Shree

Hi,

If you need to extend the table on the basis of items then you need to use Table option in Smartform but again it will be extended on the basis of the items.

If you are using the Template it will work as a outer frame for the same you can also define the next page and apply the Template for next page also. This helps in the fixed format, i.e. where the frame will be fixed the number of items will be displayed in that fix format and if there is more items then it will flow to next page as per your design in next page.

Now it depends on your requirement whether you need to extend the table on the basis of number of items or you need a fix format for any number of items.

You need to discuss the design with functional who has provided you this scope.

Now in context with your question :-

1. Templates are Static. i.e Can not be extended. Can be used as an outer frame like an outline/separation of your table (Item / Description/Qty). If you need to extend the table according to items then you need to use Table (That is Dynamic).

2. You may define the next page if it required to be displayed in different format then first page otherwise you can use the same page.

3.Yes, you need to use template (as define in secondary) on the top of main window,  if you need a fix format of outer lines and frames.

4. Templates can not be used as tables (dynamic items), as templates has a fixed length. In your case you will be using both but you will be using template just for the outer frame of the main area where dynamic line items will be displayed.

Hi Rahul,

    I need to conclude this query,  I believe the billing items can be 3 items or more than 10 items. Can we use template cause or how can we avoid the gap using table?

pl i'm not understanding how to do.?

Thanks

Shree

[former_member205060]

Hi Shree,

Templates will not reduce the gaps. It will take whole space of the main window where you will specify it.

But if you need to reduce the gap of main and footer then you need to specify the footer in main window, without using template. Please check the comments of others also they have suggested you the same.

Hi Kannan,

  It's billing no it has to display item details in main window and footer is used to calculate total values should be displayed... So Header & Main & footer are used in this billing using table format.

Note: Problem is main window changes when we using different billing no..it's not joining properly with bottom window..

Tried using secondary window with template for outer frame which is not working properly..

Thanks
