Subforms and expanding tables

[Former Community Member]

Hi,

If anyone can give me advice on Positioned and Flowed Subforms it would be of great help, the issue I have got is that I have created a 9 page form in which some of the fields are static and will not move but in other parts of the form I would like to put expandable tables (client contacts, etc) so I am wondering how I should set out the page and how I would wrap a table into a subform and make it flowed.

If anyone has any examples it woud be appreciated.

Thanks

Steve

Hi Steve,

The best approach is to wrap objects that do not grow into Positioned subforms. You can do this by selecting them on the page and right clicking on the group. Work your way through the nine pages and when completed, change the page type to Flowed. Content within the Positioned subforms should maintain their positions, whereas objects within the flowed content will grow as required.

An example here explores the differences between flowed and positioned subforms:

There is another example here that looks at developing flowed forms and highlights some of the steps with screenshots:

Hope that helps,
