User specific layouts

[Former Member]

Hi

I'm new to adobe forms.

Is it possible to have user specific layouts in adobe forms like we have for say ALV?

I can't see any option in the layout tab to save a particular layout.

If not then what are the other options available to achieve this?

Thanks

Hello,

you have 2 options:

1) create multiple layouts for a single interface (layout variant at design time, created by the developer, not the user)

2) pass all the data into the form and add some information about what data does the user want to see

(note: everything must be send to the form, only part will be hidden according to the customizing)

in the form you will use scripting (to control the form behavior) to hide the fields the user does not want to see.

Extra: Maybe you could: Let the user create an ordinary ALV layout and save it

On runtime, before generating the form, you can check the layout and hide the fields in the form (through the "customizing" structure where you mark something like COL1 = 'X' for visible and COL2 = '' for invisible and make that happen through scripting).

There is no other way. There is no way user can create his own variant, it always must be a developer, who creates the variants. I am sorry I cannot help you with the user side customizing since there is no such thing.
