Multiple questions on BIRT

Question

Hi,

I am new to BIRT.

1. I have a requirement to print a HEADING based on a database value. How do I do that?
2. How do I leave a Blank line upon break in one of the fields I am reporting?
3. In the footer, I need to say "Page X of Y" where Y is the total number of pages?

Your help is much appreciated - ASAP

Thanks Nurani Sivakumar

Answer 1

As you are new to BIRT it would be good to start with the Tutorials. Reading the FAQs is usually enlightening, too. Make sure to check out the BIRT community resources like the mailing list archives, etc. too.

Answer 2

1. After creating the data source, switch to the "Master Page" and drag the field in question into the header.

2. No idea.

3. There are a couple of computed fields (called "AutoText") available. One of them renders itself as the total number of pages.
