How To Simulate Report Band

In Jreport, There is a Report Header/Footer that is rendered once in the entire report. Elixir Report Designer does not have the absolute concept of a Report Header/Footer. However, through minor scripting, we are still able to achieve the same effect.

  1. To achieve Report Header:Make use of the Section Header as the Report Header and disable the Page Header for the first page.
  2. To achieve Report Footer:The best place to intercept is the (last) Section Footer OnLayout. If you set a flag there, you can check it in Page Footer RenderIf.
