Checking repeated group header - BIRT 2.5.1 [message #498336] Mon, 16 November 2009 14:10 Go to next message

Hi,

Using BIRT 2.5.1

In my reports I need to conditionally display some text if the same Group Header is repeated. The repeating Group Header should show some text like 'Continued...'

I'm looking for a solution something similar to 'InRepeatedGroupHeader' feature in Crystal Reports...

Please let me know what would be a better better solution with BIRT 2.5.1

Thanks in advance,
Manilal

Manilal,

There is a way of doing this in script, but it would be good if you
could log a bugzilla entry to get it added to the GUI.
To do in script, for the table that is grouped do the following:

Enter a detail row below the group header (Group header is not
re-evaluated for page breaks)

In the detail row just add a text/label element with the value
"Continued..."

By default this will create a new row for every detail row. To turn it
off we will use visibility expression but first add the following
scripts to the table.

onPrepare
//The variable represents the first group to appear on a page
reportContext.setGlobalVariable("grpPageStart", "none");

onPageBreak
//This will give the first group on the new page.
//Just set a global variable with its value
var currGrp = this.getRowData().getColumnValue("ORDERNUMBER");
reportContext.setGlobalVariable("grpPageStart", currGrp);

Next on the detail row enter the following script on the onCreate event
//This will store for every row resulting in the last group on a page
//So if this variable is equal to the grpPageStart we know the header is
//repeating
var tst = this.getRowData().getColumnValue("ORDERNUMBER");
reportContext.setGlobalVariable("prev", tst);


Final thing to do is set a visibility expression on the detail row we
added with the following expression:

var pg = reportContext.getGlobalVariable("grpPageStart");
var tst = reportContext.getGlobalVariable("prev");
//group header continued
if( pg ==tst){
reportContext.setGlobalVariable("grpPageStart", "clear" );
false;//Show the continued row
}else{
reportContext.setGlobalVariable("grpPageStart", "clear" );
true;//Dont show the continued row
}

Attached is a sample report

Jason

Is there an update to this fix, or has this been logged in bugzilla?

We are currently using 2.5.2 and the attached solution does not work. On some of the continuation pages there is a record that prints at the top of the page, before the "Continued" line. On other continuation pages there is no "Continued" line. Also, in the pdf output there is never a "Continued" line.

Any updates would be appreciated.

Thanks

Revised report is attached. This report requires separate run and
render task, which means you can not run directly to pdf from the
toolbar. You have to use the /frameset mapping with format set to pdf
in the viewer or export the report to pdf from the viewer. If you are
using the api you execute a run task and then a render task.

The code is simple. In the onPageBreak event we write out the last
value for a page.

reportContext.setGlobalVariable("lst", this.getValue());
reportContext.setGlobalVariable("dn", false);

Then in a visibility expression on the continued label we check if the
current row matches that last. If it does we show the label once and
then hide it.

if(( reportContext.getGlobalVariable("lst") == row["ORDERNUMBER"]) &&
reportContext.getGlobalVariable("dn") == false){
reportContext.setGlobalVariable("dn", true);
false;
}else{
true;
}

I did some more testing on this report and it will not work with 2.5.2.
You can set the page break interval to something less than the pdf page
height but then it will show continued on every page.
Instead of using a continued label can you just edit the group and set
page break avoid on the inside drop down?

We were able to simulate a continuation header via the master page and page variables. This was only a solution because we were not currently using the master page to produce and header for each page.

The only issue we had with this solution is that the report is only rendered properly via the webviewer. In addition to the continuation header we also are using page variables to print the page numbers in the footer of the master page, and reset the page number at the beginning of each group. This seems to work with one exception - all page breaks are not treated equally.

We are incrementing the page number in the onPageBreak script for the table. The value is incremented and displayed properly with the web viewer, but not the pdf. In the pdf it seems as though the only page breaks that are counted as breaks are the ones that I have set within the group. The "natural" page breaks do not trigger the onPageBreak script. These are the page breaks where the data overflows, within a particular section, from one page to the next.

Is this a known issue or are there any work arounds for this? Should I file a bug?

Thanks

This is a known bug and should be fixed in 2.6.2 when it comes out. A
couple of things to try. Set the page break interval for the table to a
smaller number. You can also try setting the layout to auto instead of
fixed.
