Hi,

If u r using multiple pages then..

suppose u have 3 pages and u want to print 2nd pages according to ur conditions.

then u can use command in last of 1st page.

In General Attributes tab specify 2nd page

In Conditions tab give ur condition to go to 2nd page.

reply back if u not get.

Hi Ankur,

I have the first page where all the PO header data and item data will be printed. Next page if the items extend beyond the first page. These 2 pages have main window.

Then the third page which has terms and conditions. This does not have any main window.

After this I need to print another page(fourth) for acknowledgement. This should get printed based on a condition. Even this page does not have any Main Window.

This is my requirement.

Hi Adapala,

In that case u can create a command (rightclick>create>flowlogic-->command) at the extreme last of 3rd page.

Now in its General Attributes, in Go To New Page = %PAGE4 (select a page 4).ok

and in its conditions tab,put ur condition u want (so that it will go to PAGE4 if condition satisfied).

I hope this will solve ur problem.

Hi,

There comes the issue. As there is no Main Window in the Third page as I mentioned earlier, if I give the command and assign new page as the required page, an error comes up which says, ''No New Page allowed in Secondary Window'. I am struck at this point.

ok..in that case u have to define ur main window in Page 3.

because in SMARTFORMS:

U can define main window only once.

U can use command only in a page having Main Window.

shift ur main window to page 3.

this solves ur problem.

Hi,

Later releases have removed the main window limit. Depending on your release you may be able to use a second main window for your Page3 and Page4.

Hi Adapala,

In new versions u can define Main Window more than once.

Change ur window in 3rd page from secondary window to Main Window,then u can define command.

Hoping for ur solution.

Hi all,

Thanks for your suggestions.

I have copied the Main Window in the third page also and set a condition where if the page is the third page and my condition, then go to page 4. This worked.

Thanks once again to you all.

Hi,

Say if you have three pages,

You want to print page 1 and page 2 and page 3 needs to printed based on a condition.

So design page 1 and in its general attributes take next page as page 2.

Similarly for page 2 take next page as page 2 only.

And at last of the all the elements used in page 2 to print the data, include a command line by right click --> create --> flow logic --> command and specify in the general attributes next page as page 3 and in the condition tab specify the condition to move to the next page.

If the condition is meet, then page 3 will be used else page 3 will not be include in the output.

Hope this solves your problem.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

I dont have a Main window in the 2nd page to keep a condition in that. It says, 'No New Page allowed in Secondary Window'.

The 2nd page consists of only secondary windows which prints the terms and conditions.

Hi Adapala

Can you specify which condition you want to specify

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am not creating a page in a Window. I want to navigate to the next page only if a certain condition is satisfied. Else, it shouldnt go to that page. The page from which the navigation should take place does not have a Main Window. Hence I am getting tat error message.

Regards.

[Former Member]

If you want to go to nxt page only if some condition is satisfied

give that condition in conditions tab of all the contents of that page

Hope it helps

Revert back if any clarification is reqd

u cant put a condition on page directly so create a command node with condition and then call ur page.

create a command node as the last element of the page which will come prevous to ur page for which u want condition then specify ur codition on command node and then call ur page thru that command node
