smartform query - how to print a terms & condition page as last page

[Former Member]

Hi,

simple question which I assume has a simple answer although its puzzling me! I basically want to include a last page that has terms and conditions. The smartform is fairly simple and has the following nodes

First - obviously contains header data and start of line data

Next - contains the continuation of the data if there are enough lines

Terms - displays the terms & conditions text.

I have set the next page on the Next node to be Terms but it isnt outputting it - I think because my test data is not stretching over two pages. All the data is output on the First node.

Does anyone know what I need to do to get the Terms node to always print out?

We output the form to PDF and send via email if that makes a difference...

Cheers

Hi,

create after the main windows, an element of type "command". There, select the checkbox "new page" and select the "jump to" page.

That's it

what page do I put this on? On the first page?

If I put it here and there are a few lines on the output - will the 2nd node (next) still be printed out?

Hi Paul,

yes, it could.

Put the command in the first page, after the main windows.

So: if the main is too long, the second page will be called automatically. Otherwise, the command will be executed and the second page will be not printed.

Give it a try.

Hi Andrea,

Thanks

this appears to be working - sort of - a new page is output in my pdf but this is blank.... I have maintained the text and can see the text in the smart form but not sure why this is not appearing on the pdf output itself...

Any ideas?

U have directed ur command node to terms and conditions page right?

OK - update....

the terms are now printing out on the last page - thank you all for your comments...

However the final issue I have is some parts of the terms need to be in Bold, others dont. The problem is, when I try to make items bold it works - but when you press save it reverts them back to standard text.

I am using Arial (standard font) and Office 2007 - which is obviously acting as the editor. One idea I had was to revert to the inline editor provided by SAP but I dont know if I can switch this??

The terms are one single text box. I tried changing the start option from append directly to new paragraph but this made no difference.

Any ideas why the bold format is not staying.

Are u using a text module or text element.

Anyways dont use the word editor but use the inline editor provided by sap and use character formats that u defined in the smartstyle to create bold fonts etc.

if u are using text modules u cant change them in smartforms u have open the text module seperatley and edit.

Hi Paul,

Try creating a Style and create some character formats to it of the type Bold.

Use this style in your smartform. For the texts which need to be bold, try doing this :

P3 Test <C4>Trying</>

Where P3 is my Paragraph format and C4 is my character format.

Do let me know how it goes.

HI,

this is the problem I have - how do I activate the inline editor as when I look at the screen now I only see the Word 2007 editor. I dont know how to use the inline editor - with the standard buttons etc...

I thought this might be in settings but there is nothing there for me to configure.

On the toolbar:

Goto --> Change Editor.

You wud be able to c the SAP Editor. Change it there.

Hi Paul,

Create two pages:

Page 1 --> Create the table and display the records as per your requirement

After page 1 create the command node --> General Attributes

Go to New page : Page 2.

Page 2 --> For the terms and condition
