What is a Subform Filler?
Subform Filler contains the following two functions:
Through the "Auto Add Rows" function, you can input the required number of rows in a field and the subform will automatically add the rows for you. Then you can enter the data in the subform without having to add rows frequently, which improves your efficiency.
Through the "Split Multiple Options" function, you only need to select the required values from the Checkbox field, and they will be filled in the subform automatically. Therefore, you do not need to enter data repeatedly, which avoids errors during form-filling.
When to Use a Subform Filler?
You can use this plugin to input multiple data in the subform.
For example, in the case of inventory management, you can use this plugin to add the corresponding number of subform rows according to the total supply categories. You can also select items from Checkbox so the items will be filled in the subform automatically.
In the case of product management, you can input the number of product series, and the subform will add the corresponding rows automatically. You can also select the products from Checkbox, and the product names will be filled in the subform automatically.
