Forms Version 10 How To

Updated May 3, 2022

asked on April 29, 2022 • Show version history

I have a simple form for a repository user to send a different form to multiple users individually. The simple form has a table that shows events related to this activity: who sent the email sent, the date, the recipient name and email.

I have the form working and it displays the events, however, I do not want the 'additional functionality' the form table offers, i.e. the add button or the delete button for each row.

Is there a way to disable this functionality, or am I using the wrong form item to accomplish this?

Any feedback is appreciated. I thought this would be a simple setting.

Hi Christopher,

In the configuration for the Table there is the ability to set a fixed number of rows (or a fixed min and max), which in effect disables the 'add row' and 'delete row' functionality.

In the classic designer it looks like this (on the 'Basic' tabe):

Note that setting the same min/max for a range of rows is the same as setting a fixed number of rows.

In the 'new' designer it looks like this (on the 'Advanced' tab):

In both cases - because there is a fixed number of rows, users can't 'add' or 'delete' rows.

I hope that helps?

I have been looking at those settings as options. I am retrieving a dynamic number of rows from the table, as it is to display activities that have happened so it is zero the first time and will likely have additional rows each time thereafter. Can I use a variable in the fixed number that I set dynamically as a query result?

Hi Christopher - yes you can use the 'Append rows' option - and leave the minimum and maximum both at '0'. Which means the rows will be populated only by how many rows of data satisfy the look-up rule - and the user can't add any more or delete any.

If no rows satisfy the look-up rule - then none are shown.

Also - make sure in your look-up rule that the 'As new rows' check-box is ticked for each variable that comes from the data look-up.

Hope that helps.
