Creating Multiple Child Instances

Previous  Home topic  Next  Print this topic Send Feedback

If, for any given form type, you want to create multiple child instances (see the Parent Form Example topic to review the related meeting examples) then one option you have is to use the Table object. Each row in the table will relate to a single child instance. Another option though is to use the Show Form button object with the Form Instance property set to New Child Instance.

 

In the image below, you can see how the first column has a button embedded. This button, when clicked, will create a new form instance. Once the initial child instance is created, subsequent clicks will not create any further instances but will instead display the child instance.

Below you can see the column setting in the Table Properties.

If you select the column by clicking in the header portion of the column, you can see how you select the child form for which a new instance will be created.
