Hi Lisa,

You should have the same nodes in the MAIN window irrespective of any page,but you can write conditions to trigger them for different pages.

Hi Lisa,

Just as it is in SAP scripts,you cannot change the nodes (smartforms)or text elements(scripts) in main window.They will reflect the same in all the pages created.So,if you try to change in one MAIN window,it will reflect these changes in all the pages defined for the smartform.

Hi Lisa,

Please Set conditions at second page.

Select~~> MAINWINDOW in Second page~~> Select NODE--> Conditions --> set check box only on First page.

this will allow these nodes from printing on second page. I hope this is what you are looking for.

Hi Lisa,

Please donot delete any node from MAIN window that will delete thet node from all the pages .

Youu can control this by setting "Only on First page" check box at conditions :

T/Code SMARTFORMS~~> Formname~~> change-->

Select the MAIN Window on any of the page~~-> Select the node(WINDOW/FOLDER/TEXTELEMENT/TABLE/TEMPLATE/ADDRESS TEXTELEMENMT) that you don't want to print on second page~~> selcect conditions--> Select check box at " ADD an Additional Event" --.Select check box "Only on First page".

This will allow to print the selected node only on first page.

Regards,

Lanka

Hi Lisa,

In any window there is a tab "Conditions".In that there is "And Additional Event" .You have radio-buttons like "Only on first page", "Not on first page".You can select any one accordingly.

Hi Lisa,

Yes. You can apply conditions to any of the windows(Not only main) and any of the textelements/Address texts, Tables, Templates.

These are addtional events apart from the Conditions you have defined in the conditions.
