MultiPage Headers

[PrimePay]

Hi,

I need To print 2 headers respectively to there data  in a report.

    i.e.:       - print the first Header on every page until it's data section all printed

                 - then break the page and start the next page with the 2nd Header and keep going with the second Header until the end of the report.

I tried binding in the Header Section  and set  

"PrintOnEveryPage" to : PageExec( "DetailSection...and other Items", Count(Fields.TriedManyItemFromDataObject)>0)

but it is returning a 0 all the way. I checked your invoice example to understand the function specially the scope parameter and I see that you are using "lineTotalDataTextBox" as scope in you examples. Could you explain why you are choosing only this textBox ?

 

I will appreciate any help in Advance.

Thanks.

Hello,

Page sections remain the same on each physical page - Page Header and Footer sections.
If you want to combine different layouts, test using a ReportBook, where each new report starts on a new page, and each report's PageSettings properties are preserved in the final document.

Hi,

Thanks for your response, but ReportBook is not what want. I wonder to know if Is there anyway to use The PageExec Function since Header Section has on it's binding the "printOnEveryPage" propriety, so I can set it to false one details Section has ne Rows to generate.

Thanks.

Hello,

The PrintOnEveryPage property is for report sections like GroupHeader/Footer. These sections are processed and rendered before the paging stage at which you can use the PageExec function - Report Life Cycle.

In general, group sections can be generated based on a grouping criteria and when it changes a new group starts. This allows you to display different information in group sections. Yet group sections are either printed on each page or printed only at the begining of the group of records. To have different behavior, you need to load different reports e.g. ReportBook or Master-Detail scenario (option1, option2) where the sub report is placed in a section following the GroupFooterSection.

Please open a support ticket and send us a runnable demo project that includes the designed report and test data, and an image of the expected result.
