Displaying labels at bottom of the report

Hi,
I am using BIRT 2.5.1

I have a requirement to display 4 labels in row at bottom of the last page of report.Whether there is data or not ,the labels should come at bottom of the report.
Right now i have a table in my report .I added the labels to footer of the table.But labels are not coming at the bottom of the report.Labels are going up if there is not much data in last page.

Could any one please suggest a solution for this

Regards,
-Reji

Hi Williams,
rows in my report are of not fixed height.
Is there any other solution for this?

Thanks,

Reji,

What kind of information is in these labels? Using report variables in the master page footer may work. I'll have to check it out.

Hi Williams,

These labels are just static text.

Rejilal,

Unfortunately, I didn't find a way to use the report/page variables to do this at the end of the last page. If you can just accept these on a separate last page, one way you could do it would be to put an empty label as your last item on your report, set it's page break before to always, create a second master page with the labels in the footer, and use this master page for that empty label. This should always give you a last page with the labels at the bottom, it just won't be on the same page as the end of the table. I'll let you know if I come across anything to make that happen.

Possibly the idea of the example I posted earlier could be used if there was a way to determine how tall the rows were on your page. Have not tried to determine height or text wrap lines used before.

Thanks williams.
