How do you place more than one data transaction in a page

Post by medus »

Hi I am a newbie to Stimulsoft. Presently we use your program to generate tickets or reports we send to customers when they make purchases online. But the problem we have is that if someone orders 5 tickets in one transaction, Stimulsoft generates 5 pages, each page to a ticket. This doesn't seem eco-friendly as we are telling customers to print their tickets at home. IS there a way or fitting two or three tickets in a page? I've attached a copy of the report.

Hi,
I have read the manual - Section 3.11 to 3.12.2 (pgs 222 - 233) and tried the bands see attached file and the tickets are still printing or displaying one ticket data per page. Am I doing something wrong here?
Please help.

Hello.

The Band repeats for each record of your data source.
You should set the Can Shrink property of the Data Band or change its' Height to 8,5.

Thank you.

Hi Aleksey,

I've tried the Can Shrink Property and also change the height to 8.5 which moved the footer close to the band but it still didn't work. The three tickets still printed separately on 3 pages. Maybe I am missing something, can you take a look at my report again? Have I not set the band correctly? The Error List is blank when I ran the messages for errors.

Thanks. I really appreciate your help and expertise.

Hello.

Maybe the Unlimited Height property of the page will help you.
Please, try to set it to true.

Thank you.

Hello.

Then we need sample data for you report to reproduce your issue.
Could you also send us example of how the report should look like.

This is close to how the tickets show appear on a page (at least a maximum of 2 or 3 tickets on a page. See attachment.
