GroupFooter needs to be page footer

[Jon]

Hi.. How can make the GroupFooter be the Page Footer... so It always prints on the bottom of each page.
I'm trying to create a report that prints checks.   The top portion of the report is the invoices being paid.  They are aligned to the top.
The bottom of the report is the actual check. Aligned to the bottom of the page.
The data is grouped by Vendor...  but I can't align the groupfooter to the bottom so it prints 'on the check'
Any ideas how I can get this to work.   Thanks.    

The data looks like this.

INVOICE DATE     VENDOR                    INVOICE  NUMBER               AMOUNT
10/1/2010             ABC                                       100                                      $100.00
10/2/2010             ABC                                       101                                     $200.00

GROUPED BY VENDOR

CHECK AMOUNT   $300


The Check Form Looks like this....
____________________________________________________________________
Date      check #    Invoice                                                            Amount















____________________________________________________________________________
Total         
_____________________________________________________________________________

                                                                                                                Check # 101
 Check Date                           
       to the order of                                                                                                  ________

Hi..
Should I open a support ticket?
thanks

Hi Jon,

In the current implementation, the group footer would always follow the detail section. However we've had requests to allow the group footer to show at the bottom right next to the page footer and this feature is logged into our features list.

Sorry for the temporary inconvenience.

Hi Steve,

Is this feature only logged in your internal documenation as I'm unable to find any info about it anywhere I look.
If it's only internal are you still able to give us a hint on when such feature might be added? Within next year, two-years?

Thanks

Tomas

Hi Tomas,

Features that have not been researched upon and there is no clear idea how to implement them prior such research are not shown in the public issue tracker. We're considering features for implementation after each Q ends (we're about to release Q3 this week), and once we do, we update our Roadmap.

So keep an eye on the road map for upcoming features, as we cannot engage with a timeframe on beforehand.

Sincerely yours,
Steve

We need group footer to be page footer, our requirement is similar to this post where we have data grouped by vendor, invoices show in details section and check is printed at the end, Preprinted sheet may be used for printing check which requires check printed at the bottom of page irrespective of detail section, whereas currently the check is immediately followed by detail section and a report of multiple pages printing check at different locations of the pages.I have checked other posts on forum, couldn't find any solution for this requirement. This is urgent, Please suggest workaround for this.


Thanks,

Hi..
Here's my work around... it works.. have printed thousands of checks on pre-printed checks
Basically you add blank rows to the data, the detail, (make sure you have 25 rows)  so that the 'printed' check always is at the bottom of the page.
In my check report I do the following.

// Add Blank Rows

List<V_CHECK> _newLIST = new List<V_CHECK>();

 

foreach (var row in q)

{

var query = (from v in _lstChecks

where v.vend_name == row.vend_name

orderby v.inv_no

select v).Take(25);

// Add blank rows Regular Checks

if (row.Count <= 25)

{

_newLIST.AddRange(query.ToList());

int cnt = 25 - row.Count;

for (int i = 0; i < cnt; i++)

{

V_CHECK v = new V_CHECK();

v.vend_name = row.vend_name;

_newLIST.Add(v);

}

}

else

{

// Get 24

var query1 = (from v1 in _lstChecks

where v1.vend_name == row.vend_name

orderby v1.inv_no

select v1).Take(24);

_newLIST.AddRange(query1.ToList());

// Add 1

V_CHECK v = new V_CHECK();

v.vend_name = row.vend_name;

v.notes =

"Continued... See Check Report";

_newLIST.Add(v);

}
