Smartform Text Element - literal text being truncated

[Former Member]

First off let me say I know nothing about Smartforms so I'm struggling.  I have a SMARTFORM that I had to change the text inside a Text Element.  I have saved and activated the form, but when I test it the text is getting truncated. I'm assuming that I am exceeding some defined length, but I have no idea where.  Can someone guide me?

Hi,

I hope the text element will be embedded inside a window. You may need to change the window size. Click on the window name , go to the output options tab and change the width and height. Also check whether the value for the field is passed into the smartform.

The bit highlighted in yellow of the previous post is where the problem is and it is literal text not updated via the program.  Here is the text in the box and it is truncating after the "/BASIC"

Hi Richard,

The problem is coming from the template named COMPSUMM_T...

If you look at the 'Output options' tab of BASIC_LIFE_TXT this defines which cell of the template this text is assigned to.  The dimensions of that cell are static are do not expand if the text is too long for the assigned space.  You can change the definition in the template, but you're really getting into smartforms design now....

In the folder u need to allocate more space for the area where the text need to printed.

The line item length need to be increased.

Hi Richard,

You will need to check and adjust width of window 'COMPSUMM'.
(Make sure not to have overlap with another window).

Also check and adjust width of Template cell which corresponds to 'BASIC_LIFE' text (in Template 'COMPSUMM_TEMP' design)

You will find a lot of helpful links in SDN wiki.

Hi Richard,

Problem is certainly because of the space allocated to the text element within the template "COMPSUMM_TEM" as mentioned in the screenshot provided by you. The text element'BASIC_LIFE_TEXT' in the  folder 'BASIC_LIfe.." must be assigned to the particular row/column of the template

"COMPSUMM_TEM'. Increase the column width of the template in which your text element is assigned. This should solve your issue.

Let me know  if you still facing the issue.
