ColdFusion Report Builder - 2 page layout.

Report · Nov 05, 2013

Good morning,

Is there a method which would allow me to create a ColdFusion report with a 2 page layout? On the odd pages (the front side), this page would include the data relating to the report and on the even pages (the back side) would include a legend and would be the same on every even page.

Thanks,

- Chris

Yes, using the ColdFusion Report Builder.

Add a dummy group (one that does not group on any field) and check its "Start New Page" and "Reprint Header on Each Page" checkboxes.
Make the dummy group header the height of your page, minus the height of margins and other headers and footers.
In the dummy group header property "Print when condition" put "calc.PAGE_NUMBER mod 2 eq 0"

Now the header will print on every second page, leaving no room for the detail band to print on the same page. The detail band will print on alternate pages.
