Title: Object repeating on all the pages
Post by: iulian.bobalca on 07 Sep 2007 05:30:00 AM
Hi again !

I am showing the report parameters (the ones sent from prompt pages) in a block, as a summary on the first page. But the problem is that summary (for example:  Report parameters: lot number XXX, start date : 1 jan 1993 , end date: no filters applied) is repeated on all the pages of the report. How can I control that in Report Studio - in my case a block, but I am sure that for other objects the technique is the same ?

Thanks!
Iulian

If it is in header section, it'll show in every page.
If not, then try using table instead of block.
I had this issue, but don't exactly remember how I resolved it. But for sure, I played with tables.

Thanks Suraj! It was not in the header, and I fixed it using a table with two rows : on the first row the summary I was talking about, and on the second one the real data (the list) , and then I unchecked the option Pagination -> Repeat table rows on page break . It works on the PDF version, but not on the HTML one. From ReportNet documentation :

Repeat table rows on page break  : In tables, if a row breaks across pages, repeats the rows that were previously rendered on each page. By default, table rows are repeated. Note: This option applies to saved reports only. In interactive HTML reports, table rows are always repeated even if this option is not selected.
