Hi, all!
I am new to Stimulsoft Reports
so please explain in detail! I appreciate any comments.

I have a group header, a databand, and a group footer on my report.
"print on all pages" is set to true for group header. but group footer lacks this feature.
how can I print group footer on all pages where details are too many to fit on a page?

I have set group footer print at bottom to true, and I am using horizontal and vertical lines.
when group footer is not printed, vertical lines do not print.

I want to differ between intermediate footers and last page footer, and I want to put a signing room for document.

the report I want to create looks like this:

thank you!

Hello,

Sorry this is not possible. You can use FooterBand in this case with PrintOnAllPage proeprty which set to true.

Thank you.

Hello, Jan

I used this approach yesterday, but I need to know the following:

1- How HeaderBand, DataBand and FooterBand are attached. I want to have control precedence of printing them

2- I need the signing room at the last page of document. some years ago, when I was using old days tools like QuickReport for Delphi 7.0, I did it by checking that this is last page of group and making what is necessary to do.

But of course, finding out that we are on last page of group, is another problem!

But I need to now, if I find it out how to know that, can I resize FooterBand to fit some labels like "Sign here"? and this does not cause printing problems with margins and does not produces empty pages?

There can be a more simple approach, but it will waste some space on the paper.
I can resize FooterBand now, and make those labels ("Sign here") invisible. and when I reached last page of group make them visible. any comments?

If it was possible to print GroupFooterBand after last FooterBand, then I could put those labels on GroupFooterBand. and a lot of problems would be solved.

Thank you!

Hello,

In this case use GroupFooterBand for all pages. Set PrintOn property for this band to ExceptLastPage. Also place in your report SummaryBand for last page.

Thank you.

Hello
In this case use GroupFooterBand for all pages.
what do you mean? GroupFooterBand does not have PrintOnAllPages property.
Set PrintOn property for this band to ExceptLastPage.
ExceptLastPage mean except last page of report not group.
and there is another problem too, GroupFooterBand prints before FooterBand.

well, I have problem with cRunningSum too, I can not reset its value when new group starts.
so, Sum of any document goes for next documents which is not pleased.

please help me, I am new to Stimulsoft Reports and I have to complete this project within a week
and it worth noting that I need some more reports with similar structure and logic.

thanks for support :feelgood:

Hello

I have used variable for simulating running total, but there is a problem :
FooterBand is rendered before DataBand:waaaht: .

I have tested Master-Detail approach, but I can not solve the problem.

Hello again

I have find out why FooterBand is rendered before DataBand. It is because I set it's PrintOnAllPage=true.
but I need it to remain to true.

Is there any workarounds for this problem? ex. Does it helps if I use double pass report?
any suggestion? :dumb:

Yes that correct if you print FooterBand on all pages. Do not print it on all pages.

Thank you.
