Question

How to get the report summary to the bottom of the page?

Hi all. Does anyone know how can I get the report summary to stick to the bottom of the page, like the page footer? Basically, I have a report that displays line items on an order. At the end of the report, there is a signatory section or acknowledgment. If I stick this in the page footer, then it displays at the bottom of the page, but on every page. If I put it on the report footer, than it follows immediately after the details, and not at the bottom of the page. What I need is the report footer to be at the bottom of the last page.

Any ideas?

Hi Mike,

For eg., if you need to display the page number in the footer (for every page)
what we need to follow is,

i) Click the "Field Tool" available under the toolbox.
ii) Drag it to the "Footer" band.

then it will display the "Add field" dialog box (which will contain all the fields of your report)

iii) Finally select the "calc.PAGE_NUMBER", and click OK.

Greetings. Thanks for the post. I am not having problems with a page number. I am having problems with getting the report footer contents to be at the bottom of the last page. The closest solution I have found is to put the content in the page footer, and then hide the page footer until the last page. However, this leaves whitespace on all of the other pages, which isn't ideal. I really need an attribute that allows me to set the report footer to print at the bottom of the page, like the page footer.
