Setting Nodes as Active or Inactive 

Use

To hide one or more nodes in the form context, when sending them to the layout in the Form Builder , set these nodes as inactive. Only active nodes are sent to the layout and can be used by Adobe Designer in the data view. In this way, you only see the data that you actually need for the form, which makes it easier to use. At runtime, only the active nodes are included in the form.

Unlike the active or inactive setting, conditions are not implemented until runtime. A node with a condition always appears in the data view of Adobe Designer, as long as it is active.

Activities

...

       1.      Select one or more nodes.

       2.      Click the secondary mouse button and choose Set to Active or Set to Inactive in the context menu.

You can set also set individual nodes as active or inactive in the Properties window.

Example

You have created a BOOKINGS table node in the form context.

When you expand the table node and its subnodes, you can see all its data nodes (MANDT, CARRID, CONNID, FLDATE, PASSNAME, and so on). These nodes are flagged as generated ().

To copy only the FLDATE and PASSNAME data nodes to the layout, select all the other data nodes in the table and set them as inactive.

Accordingly, when you choose the Layout tab page, you see the BOOKINGS node with the row node and FLDATE and PASSNAME in the data view of Adobe Designer. Only these two data nodes in the table will be included in the form at runtime.
