Confiform Database within a Form

[Maximilian Neufeld]

Hello there,

so as usual I will try to describe as precise as possible what my problem is:

I created a custom layout form via Confiform. In the end of this form I want to insert a "Capacity Matrix".

Example of this matrix:

...

*Upper part of the form where general data about the person is asked*

.....

Matrix:

Category               Type                             Amount                       Size

---

Dogfood         *ConfiFormField*          *ConfiFormField*       *ConfiFormField*

                        *ConfiFormField*          *ConfiFormField*      *ConfiFormField*

Catfood           *ConfiFormField*          *ConfiFormField*      *ConfiFormField*

                        *ConfiFormField*          *ConfiFormField*      *ConfiFormField*

........

And so on.....

The problem with that is: I cant really analyse the total amount of dogfood (Type XYZ) through all entries. Any ideas what the best approach would be to get this down?
Would the integration of a database solve this problem. But how can I do this without getting too much out of Confluence and still be able to analyse the entries.
Overall the result should be that anyone can fill in how much he needs of what and i want to analyse and interprete the results through all entries.

Best wishes 
Max

Could you tell us how big your Confluence is, and a rough idea of the hardware (memory, CPU and what type of disks confluence "home" is on?)
