Table Subforms header repeat for subsequent pages
Requirement – We need to design the table in sap adobe forms in below format (assume)
Header –
HEAD1 | HEAD2| HEAD3|HEAD4|HEAD5|HEAD6|HEAD7|HEAD8
with body design as
Body –
ROW1 | ROW2
ROW3 | ROW4 | ROW5 | ROW6 | ROW7 | ROW8
with the table approach (wizard. Table creation from palette) above is not feasible.
So have opted the sub forms table design and created the 3 sub forms : 1 for header and 1 for body and 1 for table where we can place both header and body sub forms.
Requirement is – header should has to flow to subsequent pages whenever data flows .
Firstly I have designed the table, header and body sub forms as flowed, With this approach, headers are not at all flowing to subsequent pages whenever data flows.
To achieve that , correct approach is –
- Table sub form should be flowed
- Header sub form should be positioned
- Body sub form should be flowed
In the Body sub form ->pagination -> Overflow Leader -> we need to give Header sub form name which ever has to repeat for subsequent pages.
With this approach we can able to design Tables ( headers/body) in our customized ways and also able to repeat headers of the table to sub sequent pages when ever data flows.
