Sections determine the layout of a report in MorphX. Sections can be defined by a report template or directly in the custom design in your report. All the sections can be repeated.
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Prolog | Appears at the beginning of a report. Use this section to display items such as a logo, a report title, or the current date. The prolog is printed before the page header on the first page of the report. |
| PageHeader | Appears at the top of every page in a report. |
| Header | Only available for generated designs. Appears at the beginning of a new group of records. Use it to display items such as a group name. |
| SectionGroup | Only available for generated designs. Appears in the middle of a report. A section group can contain a Header, Body, or a Footer section. The structure of data sources is reflected in the structure of the section groups. |
| Body | Appears in the middle of the report. A body section contains controls or a SectionGroup. The controls show information from fields in the data sources (tables), or information provided by display methods. |
| Footer | Only available for generated designs. Appears at the end of a group of records. Use it to display items such as sub totals. |
| PageFooter | Appears at the bottom of every page in a report. Use it to display items such as page numbers. |
| Epilog | Appears at the end of the report. Use it to display items such as a logo. The epilog is printed just after the page footer on the last page in a report. |
| ProgrammableSection | Use programmable sections to add any kind of customized information. To activate a programmable section, activate it explicitly with an element.execute( Number ) statement. The Number must be specified in the ControlNumber property for the design section. |
