Form with large number of fields
Locked
 
|
Hi,
I'm evaluating a suitable tool for designing a form with large number of fields. The Orbeon Form Builder looks like a suitable tool for non-technical person to make modifications to forms. There is an example, which converts the sections to tabs. However, as I have lots of fields, I would like to have both sections and tabs so that user can hide the parts of the form he is not interested. Is there any example which shows both sections and tabs? Or is it possible to have sections inside tabs at all? Is it e.g. possible to design a form with sections with form builder and copy that data inside a tab? I tried that but it did not show sections (not sure if I did it in the right way).

Jussi,
At this time this is not supported in the builder, but we are working on it (both nested sections and tabs). I assume you are referring to the XForms Controls example, which takes the Controls form and places sections into tabs? You could use a smilar approach to transform some sections into tabs and some into sections-within-tabs. This would require some kind of XSLT preprocessing step first. It will be a bit tricky. The best would be to wait for this feature to be fully baked into Form Builder/Form Runner if possible. -Erik On Tue, Dec 6, 2011 at 11:33 AM, Jussi Ryömä <[hidden email]> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm evaluating a suitable tool for designing a form with large number of fields.

Thanks Erik,
Yes I am referring to he XForms Controls example. So it is possible to have sections within tabs in current release but it just need some manual work. Do you have any estimate when this will be available in Form Builder?

Jussi,
We aim at releasing one major version of Orbeon Forms per year, and the last one came out in May 2011, so right now we are aiming at Q2 2012. Nightly builds should have something reasonably stable before that. -Erik On Tue, Dec 6, 2011 at 11:45 PM, Jussi Ryömä <[hidden email]> wrote: > Thanks Erik, > > Yes I am referring to he XForms Controls example.
