Hello,

I have the following question related to Birt Report

1) In Birt report how can we get serial number for records as in actuate
we do with rownum value.

2)In Birt report In footer we get current date, how can we get that in
yyyy/mm/dd format.

3) In Actuate report for maximo 6.2 we always get Report Border in its
output how can we get that in Birt.

Birt report version 2.3.2.
Maximo version 7.1.1.5

regards

Hi Syed,

1) To get table row numbers, insert a Data Element, launch the Expression builder within it, select Available Column Bindings | Table | RowNum. This will create an expression like row.__rownum which will display the current table row. This is Zero based so if you want it to start with 1 then make your expression row.__rownum+1

2) In MasterPage Footer, change <value-of>new Date()</value-of> to <value-of format="yyyy/MM/dd">new Date()</value-of>

3) As for page border, BIRT 2.3.2 did support this yet (BIRT 2.5.1 does). One option that may work is putting a grid on the report set to a fixed width and height, and applying a border to that... Only works for single page tables.
