Removing item from Table Of constance.

mcremer

Good day all,<br />
<br />
I'm having some trouble with a rather complex report. In this report we on several levels.<br />
<br />
however I have a problem the first group is conditional.<br />
<br />
The grouping go's something like this:<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
if ( params["GROUP_DATA1"].value == 'Y') {
row["DATA1"];
} else {
params["GROUP_DATA1"].value;
}
</pre>
<br />
This effectively disables the grouping. And I sett he visibility of that group line to true when the params["GROUP_DATA1"].value is false.<br />
<br />
Now the problem I have is in the Table of Contense I put in bookmark & Item Expression for Table of Contense the following Script:<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
if ( params["GROUP_DATA1"].value == 'Y') {
row["DATA1"];
}
</pre>
<br />
Now I would expect when the GROUP_DATA1 parameter is F that it would not make an item for the TOC (as it would be as you make them both Empty) however it makes an emtpy entry in the tree.<br />
<br />
Eny one a sugestion how to make it work as I expect?

If the Group has any children that add to the TOC, then it must have some entry in the TOC. BIRT is not smart enough to know that a Group only generated a single TOC entry and since the name is null the whole TOC level should be skipped.

I think the only way to meet your requirement would be to script the Table and dynamically add (or remove) the whole group.
I don't have an example. Maybe someone has tried this before?
