Laserfiche Forms - Populate Table with JavaScript

Forms Web Customizations

asked on June 21, 2016 • Show version history

I have form (Forms 9.2.1) that needs to load data into a table from a web service call. I am able to call the web service to get the JSON data, and I have a solution similar to the code here: http://answers.laserfiche.com/questions/67972/How-to-automatically-populate-a-Forms-Table-with-multiple-rows-of-data-based-on-a-lookup. Sometimes the web service returns hundreds of rows of data and it takes around 3 to 5 minutes to load these large forms.

Is there a faster/better way of adding hundreds of rows to a table in Forms using JavaScript?

Thank you.

since forms use basic jS / Jquery you would need something beyond these to achieve faster results. would something like this help?

Junaid,

Unfortunately this solution won't work because it is not using a Forms table. All of the data needs to be within a Forms table in order to be processed later by Workflow and to be displayed in later Forms submissions.

Thank you.

Are there any other thoughts on how to add hundreds of rows to a Forms table other than looping through the data and programmatically clicking the "Add" link for each row?

Thank you

Are there any other thoughts on this? The performance of adding so many rows to Forms in this manner is too slow to be a viable solution.
