How to set the footer text only display in last page

I use BIRT ver 2.6 to develop a purchase order form. The form has header box, detail box, footer box and signature box. Now I use the list to develop the header, detail & footer boxes. The signature box that I placed in master page footer. Because the signature box need to only placed in the bottom of last page footer. But now the signature box placed in the bottom of every page, and I need the footer box do not separate to two pages. Whole footer box place to next page if the current page not enough space. How can I make the signature box only placed in the bottom of last page, and the footer box do not separate.

Many thanks

Hi whlawdev,

For displaying footer text only in last page you can do something like this in your footer signature box script onRender method

if(pageNumber < totalPage){
this.getStyle().display ="none"
}

hope this may help you,

Thank you,

Hi Kavitha,

Thank you for your support. Your suggestion is worked for my requirement. But I am a first time to use the BIRT, now I have a problem that the report cannot change the page number. The page number alway show "1" in all pages (the attached report has three pages). Whether I make a wrong setting. Please provide a suggestion to me.

Thanks,

Hi whlawdev,

May i know why are you using below script?

importPackage(Packages.java.lang);
if(reportContext.getPersistentGlobalVariable("PN") == null ){
reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("PN",new Integer(1));
reportContext.setPageVariable("PageNum", 1);
}else{
var curr = parseInt(reportContext.getPersistentGlobalVariable("PN"));
reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("PN", new
Integer(parseInt(curr)+1));
reportContext.setPageVariable("PageNum", curr+1);
}

Thank you,
Kavitha
