    ColdFusion Report Builder - 2 page layout.

      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.
