Group Footer and Page Footer Control

[HoiFook]

I am designing a invoice format to print on pre-printed form.

the form has a 3 section:

header (for customer address)

detail (invoice line items, and this detail box is of fixed length/height)

footer (for invoice total and payment instruction notes) per-se.

problem here is I need to print the payment instruction on EVERY page but only print the invoice TOTAL on LAST page, above the payment instruction.

I tried put payment instruction on page footer, TOTAL on group footer but have problem controlling the visibility.

I am more familiar with Crystal Report but new with Telerik.

Thanks for helping.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Telerik Support. I have tried my best to answer your question, but I am not sure exactly what part is not working for you.

The header and detail section is working as excepted. Does the group divide your data into multiple groups and the problem is that the group footer appears every time the group ends?

If this is the case, adding a new group as a parent group could solve this. Set the grouping expression to something static like '= 1'. This will cause all the data-rows to be combined into one single group, resulting in the group-header and group-footer appearing only once. Next, you can set the visibility of the new group-header to false, and set the group-footer to 'PrintAtBottom' to true. If you then move the TOTAL from the old footer into the new one I believe you will achieve what you want.

I hope this information above is useful. If I misunderstood the scenario and requirements, could you maybe include a screenshot of a current report-example? In addition, try to add some graphics to the screenshot of what you want to achieve.

Let me know how it works out, if you run into challenges, or if you have any other questions.
