Oxetta Report Contents Band Object

Oxetta Contents band is the main Oxetta band and may act as contents, group header or group footer for Oxetta reporting engine. If the data you need to print is not grouped into groups, you normally use only one Contents band per report. If you want to group your contents into groups and wish to have group header, contents and group footer bands, you use three Contents bands: one for group header, one for the contents itself and one for group footer.

In addition to the standard band properties, Contents bands have the following properties:

Group Header

If the data you are printing in your report is grouped into groups (e.g. employee in the Employee List sample report are grouped by departments), and this band acts as a contents for a bigger group, you should specify the name of the band that represents Group Header for the bigger group here; otherwise, please leave this property empty

Group Footer

If the data you are printing in your report is grouped into groups (e.g. employee in the Employee List sample report are grouped by departments), and this band acts as a group header, you should specify the name of the footer band here; if this group does not have a footer or if this is not a group header band, please leave this property empty
