New 'PrintAtBottom' Property of C1Report

A new property 'PrintAtBottom' has been added to C1Report and serves to meet the requirement of many of our customers. It is a Boolean property added for each section of the report that allows the printing of 'bottom bound' text (for e.g. Disclaimers or any other Information) on all or selective pages. This feature was introduced in C1Report, build : x.6.20113.54459 and later. Earlier when we wanted to print any text at the bottom of the page, instead of immediately after any section, we used to add the text field in the PageFooter section and then toggle the visibility of the section/field depending on the requirement. This workaround has it’s limitation as the page footer is present on each page and is of fixed height. As a result, a blank space would appear at the bottom of the pages having ‘PageFooter.Visble’ set to ‘False’. Now with the addition of ‘PrintAtBottom’ property, all we need to do is set the 'PrintAtBottom' property of the respective section to 'True' and the same will be displayed at the bottom of the page. Please note that this property is applicable only on the sections and not on fields. With this enhancement it is now possible to render variable size fields at the bottom of the page, without using conditions in the formatting events of individual sections. The attached sample consists of the PrintAtBottomPage_Implementation.xml report definition which has two reports, showing the implementation of the same : Download Sample 1. Report1: Disclaimer in Group Footer The disclaimer is present after each group. Add the disclaimer text in the 'GroupFooter' section and set it's 'PrintAtBottom' to 'True'. The disclaimer will now be printed at the bottom of the page. 2. Report2: Disclaimer in Report Footer The disclaimer is present at the end of the report. Add the disclaimer text in the 'ReportFooter' section and set its 'PrintAtBottom' to 'True'. The disclaimer will now be printed at the bottom of the page at the end of report.
