SMARTFORMS INPUT/OUTPUT PARAMETERS

[Former Member]

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.

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

Search

<item><OUTIN>I</OUTIN></item>

and replace with nothing.

Search

<item><OUTIN>O</OUTIN></item>

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.
