Procedure documentationCombining Nodes

 

The more detailed a form becomes, the more difficult it is to get a clear overview of the hierarchy of nodes. The more extensive a form, the less clear the node hierarchy in the tree structure. To avoid this, you can combine related nodes under a folder node. When displaying tables, you can use the folder node to protect multiple table lines against automatic page break (see: Page Protection for Tables).

Example Example

Nodes assigned to cells of a template can be identified more easily in the tree structure if there is a folder for each line or column.

End of the example.

Example Example

You want to begin a reminder with a different text, depending on which deadline has been missed. Create a text node containing the relevant dunning letter for each dunning level and specify conditions to print only one of the nodes. Here, it is a good idea to group these text nodes in a specific folder.

End of the example.

Procedure

  1. Create a node of type Folder in the navigation tree of the Form Builder.

  2. Create a node of type Folder in the navigation tree of the Form Builder. Enter a unique name for the node and a description (for example, cells of the third line).

  3. To assign other nodes to the folder, use Drag&Drop to put them in the folder node or insert new nodes as subnodes.

    Note Note

    On the Events tab, you can activate a header and a footer area. For more information, see Printing Tables.
