Smartforms - Column heading not printing in next page

[pavan_prabhu]

Hello Experts,

          I am not able to print the column heading in subsequent pages for NEW item.

          In smart forms, I need to design one page. On top there will be standard text(S1) and will be of fixed size. In the middle there will be table data(T1) for each NEW item(Each item may contain several services). The table data is dynamic and can flow to next page. On the bottom there will be standard text(S2) which will be of fixed size.

          When the item data is on first page, S1(in secondary window), T1(in main window) and S2(in secondary window) should be displayed. Whenever the table item data flows to next page, then S1 should not be displayed and the position of S1 should be filled by T1 and more or less the position of T1 should be filled by S2. So in this page only T1 and S2 will be dsipalyed.

So basically for each item in the first page S1, T1 and S2 should be displayed. And in subsequent pages for that item, only T1 and S2 should be displayed. This continues for each new item(with page break).

Now currently I am handling this by creating 2 pages. In 1st page, I have my S1, T1 and S2. And In second page I have my T1 and S2 only in required position and calling it from Page1. It is working fine. But the problem is I am not able to print the column heading in subsequent pages for that item.

Kindly help.

Hi Pavan ,

For that purpose you need to maintain it Externally.

I mean you can maintain it using a template in a Secondary Window with condition Not on First Page.

And position it accordingly ( i.e according to the flowing line items).

And also check for the condition when Line item exceeds to second page. (otherwise it will be unnecessarily  displayed everytime ).

I thought of this. But the requirement is not to show this column heading as separate entity(I mean in secondary window). It should be part of the table. I mean in a row. Currently if there are 15 data rows then on 1st page I am getting 10 rows(1 row for column heading and 9 rows of data). And in next page I am getting 1 blank row of column heading and 6 rows of data.

No problem , it will be shown like a row.

You just need to properly align it accordingly.

You can do test cases in DEV client.

I've honestly lost train of thought somewhere in the middle of the post, but in the Table element there is Header available. It may be printed on the first page or at page break.

There is no need to "call" a page. If layout is different, there should be two pages designed in the form, e.g. FIRST and NEXT. NEXT should be set as the next page for FIRST, that's all. When table is placed in MAIN window, it will just flow by itself to the next page if it doesn't fit on the first page.

If something is still not clear, please be more specific.
