Smartforms Loops and Page Break Question

[Former Member]

Is it possible in a SmartForm, inside a loop that is writing data, using a template, texts, or otherwise, to prevent the data from writing if it is interrupted by a page break? Meaning...For example, Is Smartforms smart enough to know that 6 lines won't fit on this page, so it will write them beginning on the next page.

If so are there config options for templates, texts, etc for this? Thank-You.

Yes, you can achieve it like:

Create a FOLDER and than put your LOOP / TABLE inside that FOLDER.

Select the "Page Protection" checkbox on the FOLDER

WINDOW
.. FOLDER with Page Protection on
.... LOOP
...... TEXT

When I do this, and drag my loops into the Page protected folder. It says folder page protection reset.And the check for page protection is removed?

Thank-You.

Yes, you are right.

Actually, it seems to be logical: System could direct those lines to next page but what happens when it finds that it is not able to fit all the rows in the same page and it reset the Page Protection.

It looks Smartform is not Smart enough to take care of your requirement directly .

hi!

In the smartform you create a folder first in that check the box saying Page protection and then craete a loop and in that line type create a text.

now in this way the texts will get protected the smartform will be smart enough to recognize the Page breaks.
