Using Table Component in AEM Forms Print Channel Document using-table-component-in-aem-forms-print-channel-document

The following video walks through the steps required to use table component in Interactive Communications for print channel documents.

Tables are used to display data in tabular manner. The rows in the table need to grow or shrink depending on the data returned by the data source. To use a table in print channel document, we need to create layout file(xdp file) using AEM Forms Designer. In this layout file, we add the table with the required number of columns. Make sure the column field object type is either TextField or Numeric Field depending on your requirements. For each of the column, fields make sure the data binding is set to Use Name.

NOTE
To make table dynamic, make sure you have marked the Row as repeating.
