What Is The Difference Between Tables & Template Node?

Answer»

Template contains a fixed NUMBER of rows and columns, where the output is fixed where as a table can have variable number of rows. Templates are also preferred where there is a need of proper alignment. Templates are used to PRINT tables whose layout and rows are fixed and known before the application program RUNTIME. Example: Tax Forms

Template is a static entity i.e. its dimensions cannot be changed at run time whereas Table is a dynamic entity i.e. its dimensions can be changed at run time. Hence, based on the data, it can last from one page to multiple pages. For line items display, normally table is used because one does not have prior information about the number of line items and no of pages.

Table node has 3 components- HEADER, ITEM and FOOTER

  • The Header component will be executed once.
  • The Item component can be used to process/display table contents.
  • At the end footer will be executed.

Templates can be used to define the FOLLOWING:

  • No. of rows and cell
  • Height of each row
  • Width Of individual cells
  • Separators or frames to be displayed or not
  • Alignment of the table in the window

Tables are used to print dynamic data which is not known before the application program runtime. Example: Material list Of Purchase orders.

Tables node to be used only in main window and no such fixed height can be SET for table rows.
