ConfiForms reuse a form in multiple locations.
Asked by Colin Roeke:

Hi,

I would like to have a small form that is reused in many space pages and have all completed forms collate in a table on Page A (Documentation Templates Main) with the form fields as columns. I see you can do this and have the table show the results on the same page but need a collated version that shows all the result on another page.

I define the form on page B (above) and I try to collate them using*ConfiForms TableView* and input the page location in "*Page name where the form is defined"*I select the page suggestion I want- Page A (Documentation Templates Main). I get this error aler t below:

Can I not simply generate the form results on another page using the *ConfiForms TableView?*Am I doing this wrong?

<br />

Maybe there is a better way to do this. Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks!!

Colin

You have DocumentationTemplate**s**(plural) form on the page A, but you reference a DocumentationTemplate form on the page B

body: Thanks [@Alex Medved _ConfiForms_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781630) Yes, you are correct about the "s". I corrected it and still not working. Maybe this process has been discussed and you could point me to the QA? I would think this is a common task and there would be a tutorial, but I have looked and looked with no luck. Maybe it is not common to reuse a form on multiple pages and have results collate in one table. Anyways, I thank you for any help/wisdom.  
Thanks again!

body: This is a core concept of ConfiForms... having a form definition (configuration) in one place and having form views and other views on different pages or spaces...

What is not working for you specifically?

Here is a little demo (very simplified - only the basic parts)

Hope it helps

thank you so much for the demo! I had a few things mixed up- working for me now.

I may have more questions. Working on a field drop down of options to chose from now.

Thanks,

Colin

body: Hi again [@Alex Medved _ConfiForms_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781630) - quick question: Any idea on how to adjust the column width or constrain it. Currently, the link pushes the width out as wide as the number of link characters until there is a space. This is in ConfiForms TableView' Macro. Maybe CSS is needed?  
Thanks so much,

Colin

Or creating a link with a asLink function, as per <https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Virtual+functions> giving it some label to make it shorter


author: Colin Roeke
body: Thanks for the link. That was the direction I needed. Didn't quite work so I instead used *word-break: break-all;*because of the link in the field not breaking in the fixed width column. working now. Thanks!
