[Beginner]How to create a section and table of contents with a grid..

peuplier

Hello I have a report containing several objects, I decided to simplify the task by including all into a grid containing x rows, and one column.
How can I create sections, and table of contents, and page numbers.

Thx for any help.

Hi peuplier,

You can do page numbers in the master page footer. You can set page breaks wherever you want to separate your report into "sections". As for a table of contents, you could create a custom one on the first "page" of your report using bookmarks and hyperlink to those bookmarks in the report. Not sure if this answers all your questions correctly or not. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Take a look at this report. Persistent Global Variables are set in the onCreate of the group header row in the table for each country. The dynamic textbox in the TOC list accesses these variables in the onRender method. You have to run this report in the web viewer for it to work if using the designer.

I am not able to attach the file for some reason. If you aren't able to get it by the above description, tell me an email address that I can send the report to.

I'm also searching for a way to do a TOC that includes page numbers. I took a look at the sample that you posted at http://www.birt-exch...grids-and-more/ and it works perfectly! The only issue is that my report has to be created as a pdf. Using your example, the page #'s do not show up in pdf. Is there any workaround for this? I'm using BIRT 4.2.2.

Nevermind. I realized that I have to run it in the web viewer and export to pdf. Now it works fine. The only issue that I'm dealing with now is that two sets of bookmarks are created in the pdf. One set of bookmarks links to the table of contents (which I do not want) and the other set of bookmarks links to the report detail (which I do want). I'm trying to figure out how to not create the first set of bookmarks.

If you create a separate Data Set for the TOC values and only bring in the distinct values, you can avoid the grouping in the list, which is where the second TOC entry will come from. You could probably also open up the group editor, on the list, and remove the TOC expression. Let me know if you have questions.
