General Purpose Prefixes
Header_
Any element prefixed with Header_
will appear on every page of a report. There can be more than one Header_
on a page. Its position is determined by its actual placed position on the template page. It does not necessarily have to be used at the top of a page. It does not define the top of the page, and text can be printed above the top Header_
.
Footer_
There can only be one Footer_
element per page. It need not necessarily be at the bottom of the page, its position is determined by its actual placed position on the template page. However, (unlike Header_
) it is used during report generation to define the bottom of the printable page (rather than the paper bottom itself), and nothing can be printed below it with the exception of a PageInfo_
element.
PageInfo_
A PageInfo_
element is the only element which can appear below a Footer_
. Only one PageInfo_
element can appear on any page. It is most commonly used with the element [report.page_counter]
to produce a report page number at the very bottom of the report page.
Row_
Any element prefixed with Row_
will appear multiple times, once for every data of the chosen type. For example, if the element internal name is Row_Text
, and the text is itself [Channel]
, then a row will be printed for every channel in the show file.
RowHeader_
Any element prefixed with RowHeader_
will appear once, on every page of a report. It is most commonly used to produce column headings in reports.
FirstPageHeader_
Similar to RowHeader_
but appears only on the first page of a report, after a cover page.
Cover_
Use on page one of a report template to create a cover page. Place the normal report template on page two. Cover pages are optional, and will only appear once at the beginning of a multi-page report.
