Create a subform (variable data output area)
You may want to design forms containing variable data, as typified by sales ledgers containing details, subtotals, and totals, where rows may be inserted or the printing position may be changed as necessary. In order to create such a form, "Subforms" can be created as an area where different data can be output to different rows. This distinguishes subforms from normal forms. In addition, it is necessary to create "Records" in the subform, which serve as the output area for the data.
Caution
You can create multiple subforms in one form, but you cannot control multiple subforms that are not linked. Only one subform can contain records in an XML form file.
You cannot create the following items in a layer directly under a subform:
Field, image, barcode, 2D barcode
Any item set an attribute-formula
If necessary, create a link-subform as the output destination for printed records that exceed the area available on the subform.
Caution
Do not place a repeat item together with a subform and records in one form.
