Hello all,
First post here. I've only started using LiveCycle Designer a few weeks ago, never knowing that it came with my Acrobat. I've been busy converting forms we use in our business into pdf versions that can be filled, and created some with simple scripting etc. Anyway my most ambitious effort to date is to create a gross payroll calculator in which I would enter the total hours worked for each employee and the gross payroll is calculated. The calculations I have no issue with.
I am using a hidden "config" subform (thanks to kingphysh for your easy and simple example!) to store the employee names and payrates and the department they work in.
My main form, the one on which I am entering total time for each employee, consists of a table with a section for each department. Thus I can put all employees in a department in one section of the table and then easily do subtotals by department etc.
Table1
Table1.Section1
Dept. Name | Emp. Name | Pay Rate | Total Hrs | Gross Pay| <-- this would be one row in the section
Table1.Section2
Dept. Name | Emp. Name | Pay Rate | Total Hrs | Gross Pay|
and so on. Each section also has a footer row for subtotals.
This form will be used at various physical locations and not every location will have all departments. Thus I want the table to show only those sections for which the corresponding departments exist based on a selection (checkbox) that is on the hidden config page.
Its not so much the actual scripting thats a problem, but where to put the script. Should I use a Table1 event or the checkbox event? I've tried both but neither works as desired. Or should I use an event for the individual rows in the section itself?
Any pointers and suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Harry.
