Insert data in ADF table cell by cell

Question

I am working on ADF application. I have table and I need to insert data into it cell by cell and column by column in order.

For example:

• on start, all cells should be disables except only one cell (the first cell at YearworkDegree column)
• if user entered value for that cell it should open below cell.. etc
• after finishing YearWorkDegree column it should open first cell from the second column MidtermDegree and so on.

Is there a feature in ADF I can use in that case, or should I think in JavaScript to handle that case.

Answer 1

So you basically need something like tab navigation between cells but in a different order (downwards). There is no integrated functionality for this in ADF, you have to do it by yourself by writing a custom JS handler. Please check this example

You can then modify it for your needs (making only the current cell enabled for editing, etc).

Answer 2

You can set the properties of one field to be dependent on the other and set partial page refresh between the two - so when you change the value in the first - the second on becomes enabled.

That being said - doing this is going to cause a lot of chattiness to the backend server (on each field change).
