Different Header for First and Subsequent Pages with Summary on last page

The data in report can vary from 1 to more than 50 rows (order lines). The header on first page is detailed and the header on subsequent pages has only some fields (whenever data is large). There is a summary section which has to be on the last page of the report only and that too at the bottom (just above the fixed footer in the report).
So, for a single page report the the detailed header, all lines, summary at the bottom and then the footer has to be printed.
For a two page report - first page will have detailed header, some lines, fixed footer and second page will have short header, remaining lines, summary at the bottom and then the footer.
For a three page report the summary has to be on third page only and so on.

In a word processing document, select your object, place it where you want & then go to Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master. To place a different repeating object, you will need to insert a section break.
With page layout documents, each page is a separate section, so there is no section master. Objects placed on one page don't repeat.

How to get the text field in the header for only first page of the report

Hi,
I am developing reports in BI Publisher Enterprise where i am facing problem i.e., i have to get some text field in header,for only first page in the result but it is displaying in all the other pages of the report in result.So,please if you have any idea of how to solve it, please reply.It is required as early as possible.
Thanks in Advance

Invalid path? What are you doing? Writing the report output to an invalid directory?
Where are your terms and conditions? It would be very easy just to put them in a database table and select them in your report query.

Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages - what the **** is going on???

Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages and trying to insert a text box autmatically creates new pages- what the **** is going on??? Is this programme really this badly thought out? I thought everything apple was supposed to be intuitive!?!?!? Help.

You can not insert a section break into a textbox.
You appear to have a lot of objects with wrap set, that once you take them out of the flow of text (by sending them to the background) causes the text to reflow and contract into fewer pages. Pages is almost unique in the way it forms up pages in Word Processing mode only so long as there is text on them.
I suspect you probably have hammered away at returns, spaces and tabs as well to position things, which only works to add to the mess.
Download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf available under the Help menu and swot up a bit on how it works.
You may find this a usueful resource as well:

PS There is quite a lot of programming in OSX that is far from "intuitive". Pages is easy at one level, when using the templates, otherwise it can be quite frustrating.

Different background for each space?

Is it possible to have a different background for each virtual desktop space?

Yeah the spaces functionality is severely lacking but I suspect it will be upgraded later down the road.

Using iPod shuffle 4th generation for first time and receiving the error : one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.
Using win 7 and latest iTunes [10.6.3]. Have already gone through below links and did not find any solution.

I was hoping it would be something like a USB device conflict, but now the shuffle is the only thing connected...
This article was one of the ones you linked to above in your initial post
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
Under Part 9. Verify that USB drivers are installed, did you try the steps in If only "Unknown Device" appears? That appears to be your situation.
Also, you said that the shuffle initially worked well enough to do a sync, then it had the same problem again. If you can get it to work again initially, before doing anything else, try the following. Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Summary tab. By default, the checkbox for Enable disk use should be unchecked. If so, check it and Apply the change. See if that makes any difference.
(If Enable disk use was already checked, try unchecking it and Apply the change. Basically, set it the "other way" and see if there is any improvement.)
NOTE: When disk use is enabled, you have to eject the iPod in iTunes before disconnecting it physically.
If the disk use change makes a difference, that may provide a clue about the actual cause.

How create dynamic URL for every row shown in the report?

Hi,
Iam new to this Application. I created one interactive report to find the number of bugs logged for every product and its sub component for past one year. The report will look like below structure in the application.
Product Subcomponent Total
P1 S1 10
P2 S2 4
P2 S21 15
Now i want to pick the value of Prouct and sub component for every row dynamiaclly and want to generate the URL with the conditions and make it as hyperlink for the Total Column.
Iam able to make hyperlink for the Total column using the edit options for the total attribute, but it is opening the same page for all the rows in the total column. I want to generate dynamic URL by picking the value prodcut and sub componenet dynamically from the report for every row and want to make it as hayperlink for every row individually.
Please tell me how to do this?
Please revert back if you are not clear. Appericiate for your quick help.

Hello <unknown user>,
So you already set the Column Link attributes for your Total column. Should all links go to the same page, but with different parameters (ProductID, SubcompID)? Or to another page? And how can you determine that page?
Assuming you'll go to a sort of detail page or form:
Target = [Page in this app]
Page = <your target page no>
Item1 = <ProductID field in target page>
Value = #PRODUCTID#
Item2 = <SubcompID field in target page>
Value = #SUNCOMPID#
(you can use the ' flashlight' for getting the correct values)

A group by field needs to appear on every page of the report.

Hi.
My rtf template has a word header which is the report descriptn that appears on evry page. The report is grouped by business unit and then grouped by job description. The problem is the business unit appears only first time when it gets changed and then it does not repeat its value until the next BU comes up. I want to display the BU on each page even though the value is same (just like as a heading of a section). I used the follwing tags. The one in bold is to solve the issue of puting the BU descr on each page. But does not work. Anybodys help is greatly appreciated.
*<?fld_BUSINESS_DESCR?>*
<?for-each-group:row_CU_DET_STG;./fld_BUSINESS_UNIT?><?sort
<?fld_BUSINESS_DESCR?>
<?for-each-group:current-group()/fld_JOB_FUNCTION?>
<?fld_JOB_DESCR?>
Sid

Thanks alot Tim for spreading your expertise. That worked !!. I added the start and end body tag along with your solution of using the section with the group and it worked. Thanks alot again. However there is one prob now the page numbers are being reset and i dont want to reset it because the page numbers should continue in sequence till the end of the report despite of Business Unit change. Please any suggestion to solve this problem.

How can I print a label on the last page of the report in the margin

I would like to display a label on my report but has to appear only on the last page of the report in the margin area or as a footer. I have tried using the solution below that I came across in this forum. This solution only worked if I put the label as a report trailer and not in the margin of the main section of report. The problem of putting the label as a report trailer is that it will only appear at the end of the report on it's own page, i.e. on a new page. I would like the label to appear at the end of the report, on the last page which has the other report details and not to appear on a new page on its own. Could you please help? Thanks.
1. Create a dummy query, like
select 1 dummy
from dual
2. Create a package spec:
PACKAGE pkg_globals IS
totalPages number(3);
END;
2. Create a repeating frame and field for this dummy at the end of the report layout.
3. Create a format trigger for this frame:
function R_1FormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM(pkg_globals.totalPages);
return (FALSE);
end;
4. Create a format trigger for your margin field:
function F_1FormatTrigger return boolean is
pagenum number;
begin
srw.get_page_num(pagenum);
if pagenum = pkg_globals.totalPages then
return (TRUE);
else
return (false);
end if;
end;

How to avoid blank page in the report?

adding a field in the grouping and checking the page break option means then we are getting blank page as the first page of the report? How to avoid this blank page?

Usually blank pages appear as first page due to the presence of filler lines (//////) on top of report header.Please ensure that the top header is exactely started from top of page itself.

How to print based on the logic that it is the last page of the report

HI
I want to print something on the last page.For example,I have to print a image(signature) file on the last page.How can I have the logic that it is the last page or any counter or variable to find that it is the last page of the report??
Thanks in advance.

Is there an example of this posted somewhere that actually works?
I have used this exact syntax in everyway, every location possible and it either locks my MSWORD window on preview or throws a Java error.
I am using the most current BIP template builder v10.1.3.2.1
Thanks,
Scott

Conditional Formula to supress page header in 1st page of the report

hi,
how to programatically add a conditional formula to supress a section only on the first page of the report.

Try it first in CR Designer, then when you get the formula collect you'll see how it's done. If you can't do it in the designer then you can't do it in code, same set of API's.

Display Excahnge rate for that particular day in the reports

Hello friends,
I have a requirement from the business users to display the exchange rate being used to convert USD to JPY for that particular day in the reports. Is this possible. Please give me the steps to make this solution.
Appreciate a lot
--Thanks
Simmi

Hi,
What will be the source of such exchange rates in your scenario? If you want to take it from the standard tables in SAP, you can load the data from such tables to the master and then can create the report on master.
On the other hand, if you want to take it from internet, you can get the data into BI from Internet using RDA (Real Time Data Acquisition) (which can be implemented in 2004s only).
I think first option would be simpler to implement.

Yogesh
