Pagination and date format

nicky29

Hello,

I'm new to BIRT and I have two questions:

1) I need to create pagination in my report, but i don't know how to do this.
For example i want to display anywhere page "1 of 2" or "1/2".

2) I want to display current date in my report using a dynamic text property. The text must be:
"Date: dd.MM.yyyy Time: hh:mm" How can i do this?

Thanks in advance!

Hello nicky29,

1) Click on the masterpage tab under the design window. Delete the date text box from the masterpage footer. Drag the page n of m auto text over from the palette to the footer. That should do it.

2) If you use a data binding of type dateTime, you can use an expression of new Date() and then in the property editor for the data element, there will be a format datetime section where you can define a format for the date.

Hope this helps.
