For this reason, a template is also called a static table."

Hi

Most often we need to display only one record in a smart form in a fixed area. Like for example, u know before hand how many rows and columns u need. In that case u design a template with the required layout. Its dimensions are fixed. For each row u assign a line type. Each cell in the template is identified by (row, column). Like (1,1) (1,2) etc.

In each cell you can create some text elements and write some thing in it.

Hi Alchemi,

In Smartforms, you use templates to define the number of columns, rows, etc. It is like a table where you can also define the number of columns and rows but its difference is that you cannot put a loop statement in it unlike the table node. What you can do there is to put an additional loop statement node.

In my acse, I use templates in footers of forms. Hope this helps you...

P.S. Please award points if found useful...
