Yes! Our Loop functionality allows you to use the tables that you have in your paper forms on your mobile device. Loops will allow you to repeat a set of fields as many times as you need to — just like you adding another line item to a table. You can then use the PDF Designer to customize how your table looks on your PDF reports.
Looking at the table above, our Loop feature will let you add as many Item #s, Descriptions, Qty, and Last Date Updated as there are in your Inventory.
Here is an example of a Loop screen on an iOS device:
If running GoCanvas version 8.0.0.5 or higher:

Grid
Our Grid and Grid (pre-populated) styles for Loop screens will give you the table look on your mobile device.
For the best mobile experience, we do not recommend using grid on devices with smaller screens.

Hi Mark Hiscocks, currently you can only have the loop form the grid; you cannot place other fields on the loop screen. There is a feature request for adding static text to a loop screen, but if you'd like more flexibility than that, I'd encourage you to create a new one and give us some details of what you're trying to do. Thanks!
These examples show a grid being the only entity on a screen, but I would like to have other non-looping edit boxes on the same screen. Is this possible?
Is it possible to modify the grid column width, auto adjust the column width or even hide a column?
