Dynamic Footer in masterpage based on the value in the dataset field

Sumeet Shetty

<p>Hello Everyone,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am new to BIRT designing. So please be a little patient </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have a requirement to display the footer of my master page dynamically.  To achieve this i have followed the following steps like we do in the Layout tab of the report.</p>
<p>1) In the master page for the section of the footer, I have defined a grid with 3 rows and in each of the rows i have defined inner grids. I want to set visibility conditions for each of the 3 rows based on the value in a dataset field and display just one of the 3 rows as footer in the report.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The problem is that i cannot choose the dataset values in the visibility part.</p>
<p> I read in one of the threads that <span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;"> the Master pages in BIRT are static and are </span><span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;">created just once.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;">Is there a way to get around this. Please someone guide me through </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;">Thanks</span></p>

Any way you can attach a simple example using the Classic Models sample database or another type of data you can provide with the sample so I can see what you're wanting? I think I have a rough idea of a way to do what you're wanting if I understand the issue, but I want to test it out, first. Thanks.
