Problem with Page Footer showing up on Top of the Page

Post by John21 »

Hi everyone.
I am still new to using Stimulsoft, so I might be doing something wrong here and I'm not sure what.

I have to design a report where data should be shown in the Page Header and the Page Footer. The problem is that while the Page Header works fine, for some reason the Page Footer shows up on top of the page. And then, if I print an item with multiple rows in a table, it just throws it in a dead loop.
Then I tried to put the header and the footer in a separate page and a Sub-report between them, then I placed everything else in the Sub-report. When I test printed it the header and the footer showed up at the top of the page one again, and even the first line of the Sub-report started at the very top causing all three of these elements to overlap.
Have you ever encountered a similar occurrence? What can I do to stop this behavior?

Thank you. :)

Hello,

Please send us a sample report with test data that reproduces the issue for analysis.

Thank you.

Thank you for the quick reply!
Unfortunately, I am prohibited from sending even a sample report.

Is there maybe another way of inserting the Footer into the report? I've tried using an external template for the report where I placed a page header, a page footer and a sub-report.
When I insert a simple text into the header and the footer it shows up correctly, but when I try using a data source it won't show up.
Of course I added a filter, but I'm not even sure if the external template gets the data it needs like the report does.

I hope that I managed to articulate what I am trying to ask. I've only been using this program for a few days and I'm new to this job altogether.

Thank you.

Hello,

To show all data from the data source, you need to use the DataBand component. If you place data column on footer, header, etc - will show only one record from the data source.

Thank you.
