Smartform templates/Windows as reference

[Former Member]

Hello,

Is it possible (and how then) to refer in a smartform to template windows?

The requirements is easy.

We have several smartforms to develop. Most of the smartforms have the same header and footer. Do we need to implement several time the same header/footer or can we define it once (text, format and position) and make reference to it?

Thanks for any advice...

Best regards,

Hi,

Develop one form with templates/windows defining their properties like position, formats etc.. Once the first form is ready, copy it to another so that all your tempates/windows will also be copied with all their properties. So now you will not have to format or position them again. In this way, you can save your effort and time while creating a no of alike forms.

<b>OR</b>

As Amit has said, develop one form with all the required templates/widows and then based on certain values or conditions, enable the required template/window in the output.

Reward points if the answer is helpful.

Welcome To SDN.

Each form has its own header and footer. They cannot be referenced.

But as an alternative you may create one form only with all the various DETAIL formats in different windows and check in OUTPUT condition for Disply of the right one based on some value passed from the program.But this will make the form very tedious.
