Designing of Smartform Part 2

So, In the Previous part what we have done is that we have created 6 windows for our 6 sections.
We assigned the size of each window accordingly.

Before, moving Forward, let’s see the contents of our Employee Header and Item table.

Employee Table data

Project Details Table data

Note :-

As we can see in the header employee table we have data for employee and in the Item ( Project Details ) table we have three project for each employee.
So in the smartform we will display the employee details in a template in the header section and project details in form of a table in the item section.

Texts in Smartforms :-

Using texts we can display the data on the screen of smartform.

How to use text ?

Right click on the window and select text.

Note :-
- While creating text, you might see that MS Office gets opened, you can use it for writing your text, or you can use Change Editor to write your texts.
  - Click on goto → Change Editor

For Window 2 :-

We need to give employee Id and value of Employee Id.
So for static data we will have to create a template :-

Template :-

Template is used for fixed number of rows and columns.
Template is for static data or fixed data.
For Template it, is mandatory that the size of the template should not exceed the size of the window.
So, I will right click on the window and will create a template.

since, the width of my window 2 was 8 cm, so I am dividing into two columns for storing employee id label and its value.
Now, right click on the template and create two texts for these two columns of template.
- For first text pass row and column as 1 and 1 in the Output structure.
- and for the second we will pass 1 and 2 as columns
Now, For Employee Id Value we will ne taking it as an input from the user, so we will import it from the FORM interface tab.
- now pass it to the second text of the template of window 2.
- Now, if i try to execute my smartform for 101 employee id, it should be displayed like below.

For Window 3 :-

We just need to give a text for Employee Data Label.

For Window 4 :-

We will display Employee data which is fixed so we will create a template.
As discussed earlier template dimensions cannot exceed the window dimensions. now for the employee data.
Now suppose for, employee data, we want to display Employee id, employee name, manager and salary.
So we will use four columns and two rows in each row we will have their label and value for 2 fields.
- Here, we will have 2 rows.
- Now we will create total 8 texts in this template for four fields of employee table.
- So, now our data is in the custom employee table and we need to bring data from table to the smartform.
- we will do, it at last, firstly we need to create text for our all windows.

For Window 5 :-

Create a text for Project details heading.

Now, if I try to execute my smartform, I can see my smartform will be looking like below,

For Main Window :-

I have to display the entire project details for the corresponding employees.

Suppose, I will be displaying, project id, project name and project type for the below data.
So, for multiple data, I need to use Table for that, So, I will create a table in the main window with 3 columns.
- Now, we will pass the header in table, in header I will create texts to display the labels for table data.
  - i.e. 3 labels.
  - Create table line and corresponding texts.

Now, We need to bring data in the smartform, so I will bring the data by writing the logic.

I will go to the global definition.
In types tab I will create type structure for both our employee and project tables.
In, Global data, we will create internal and work area for both the structures.

In initialization, we will write logic.

Now I will simply go to the 4th window and I will pass the employee details into the texts of the template.

Now, For Project details :-
- go to main area of table → right click on it and click on create → table line.
Execute the smartform :-
