SMARTFORMS INPUT/OUTPUT PARAMETERS

Former Member — Wed, 04 Jun 2014 17:18:56 GMT

When using Smartforms is there a way to sort the INPUT and OUTPUT Parameters in the INITIALIZATION Tab? I'm trying to clean up the code and I have blank fields in these Parameters and would like to have all my fields listed without having blanks inbetween my fields.

Example

Input Parameters Output Parameters

Field 1 _________

____________ Field2

Field 3 __________

Like to have fields listed with no blank lines, is only way just to re-enter?

Hi,

I think is only way is to re-enter.

Cut and paste the fields in blank lines.

Regards

Sachin

Good question! This drives me nuts too but haven't seen any other solution than re-entering. Would be curious to find though if there is something else.

I found a way.

Smarform can be downloaded to xml, empty parameters can be deleted and then modified xml can be uploaded.

Before

After

Modify xml using notepad

and replace with nothing.

and replace with nothing.

The downloaded xml had this:


<GPLIST>
<item><OPD>A</OPD><OUTIN>I</OUTIN></item>
<item><OUTIN>I</OUTIN></item>
<item><OPD>C</OPD><OUTIN>I</OUTIN></item>
<item><OPD>B</OPD><OUTIN>I</OUTIN></item>
<item><OUTIN>O</OUTIN></item>
<item><OPD>E</OPD><OUTIN>O</OUTIN></item>
<item><OPD>F</OPD><OUTIN>O</OUTIN></item>
<item><OPD>D</OPD><OUTIN>O</OUTIN></item>
</GPLIST>

Item tags are for parameters. For empty parameters, OPD tag is missing.

Using a little bit of code, sorting of adjacent parameters can also be implemented.
