Title: List - Overall footer at bottom of page
Post by: GerritZ on 20 Feb 2014 09:07:10 AM
I'm looking for a solution to print the overall footer of a list at the bottom the page. The footer is now printed directly after the last line of the list body. It is required to display order totals. Example:
I'm printing a order with 30 order lines. 25 lines are printed on the first page, the other 5 on the second page. Directly after the last line my total lines are printed. Then a lot of white space before the report footer is printed. What is the trick to force the list footer to print at the bottom of the page, just above the report footer?

Try setting the height of your list to 100% by navigating to the list level using the ancestor button and editing the size and overflow property.

Then click on your overall total footer and navigate to the List Footer property sheet using the ancestor button. Set the "Push to Bottom" property to "Yes".

If that solves the problem then feel free to take the rest of the day off  ;)

Thanks a lot, you send me in the right direction. I changed the height of my list to 100%, but did not gave the expected result. The list is located within a block. After setting the height of the block to 100% the totals are neatly printed at the bottom of the report. Issue solved! ;D
