I have a Report header section that I want to print at the top of the first page of the report.
I have no Page Header, Page Footer, or Report Footer.
My one and only section has a Group By section within it with the field that it is grouping by displayed and a line of header.
Then in the subsection it lists all of the unique individual fields.
For some reason, my Report Header is printing on the first page, but then it does not start the data of the report until the second page. How can I make it start the data after the Report Header?
Please see attached for report designer view.
Hello and thank you for posting!
The Report Header is designed to be displayed on the first page as a cover for the reporting data that will be displayed on the following pages. This is the reason the data does not start right after this header. A possible solution to this could be the approach that Simon suggested in the following blog post for using an If statement for the Page Header and make the label transparent if the CurrentPage is not the first one: http://ko.infragistics.com/community/forums/t/77678.aspx.If you have any questions related to this, please feel free to let me know.
Thank you for the response, but that answer will not work for me. The header actually has an image logo in it, and therefore the header is about 2 inches in height. I don't want 2" of every page eaten up with blank space. How can I make the header not render at all after page 1?
I would have expected that if I actually wanted the report header to be on its own page then I would just put a Page Break after it.
I've tried binding the PageHeader.Visible property to "=If(Global.CurrentPage=1, True, False)", but it seems to always be false. I also tried this with a Group Summary Header with no luck.
Hi,
Currently displaying data on the same page as the report header and modifying that behavior by adding a page break is not supported. You may consider logging this as a suggestions at http://ideas.infragistics.com where other users can vote for it as well.
Steps to create your idea: 1. Log into the Infragistics Product Ideas site at http://ideas.infragistics.com (creating a new login if needed).2. Navigate to the product / platform channel of your choice (e.g. WPF, Windows Forms, ASP.NET, HTML5 / Ignite UI, iOS / NucliOS, etc.)3. Add your product idea and be sure to be specific and provide as much detail as possible. Explain the context in which a feature would be used, why it is needed, why it can’t be accomplished today, and who would benefit from it. You can even add screenshots to build a stronger case. Remember that for your suggestion to be successful, you need other members of the community to vote for it. Be convincing!
The benefits of submitting the product idea yourself include:- Direct communication with our product management team regarding your product idea.- Notifications whenever new information regarding your idea becomes available.
Additional benefits of the Product Idea system include:
- Ability to vote on your favorite product ideas to let us know which ones are the most important to you. You will have ten votes for this and can change which ideas you are voting for at any time.- Allow you to shape the future of our products by requesting new controls and products altogether.- You and other developers can discuss existing product ideas with members of our Product Management team.
The product ideas site allows you to track the progress of your ideas at any time, see how many votes it got, read comments from other developers in the community, and see if someone from the product team has additional questions for you.
So there is no way to accomplish what I need to with Infragistics Reporting?
To recap, all I need to accomplish is that certain stuff prints at the top of the first page of the report, and every page after that it does not use up any space at the top of the page.
Using a condition to bind the visibility of a section to a post processing properties as CurrentPage and TotalPages is not supported at the moment. More details on this matter could be found in our online documentation at ‘Hide/show behavior’ section: http://help.infragistics.com/doc/reporting/2014.2/CLR4.0?page=How_To_Using_the_Report_Sections.html. A possible approach that could solve this is setting the elements in the header as transparent if they are not on the first page. I understand that this will leave a blank space on the top of each page which is not an option for you and this is the reason I would suggest you to log your suggestion to the product ideas site so our Product Management could review it. Thank you in advance.
Ok. I have posted the idea here. Unfortunately I will have to resort to using Crystal Reports to complete this project though so that I can do what I need done.
Thank you for taking the time to add this suggestion.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any other questions on the same.
