AEM Designer - Force Page Break

[chapmawi]

Hello All,

I'm new to AEM (LiveCycle) Designer but I thought I had mastered the basic stuff.  That was until someone asked me force a page break in a document that currently contains information by state in a table object inside a flowed subform.  The request is to have the table data element begin on a new page each time the state changes.  I thought such a request would be really simple (and it probably is) but I can't find an explanation of how to do it.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Willie C,

Sounds like you could use the conditional break option on the Row object of your table, so something like;

The code

if (this.index > 0) {

  this.resolveNode('Row1[-1].State').rawValue

    !=

  State.rawValue;

}

Assume your row is called Row1 and the state field is called State.  The reference "this.resolveNode('Row1[-1].State').rawValue" returns the State value on the previous row, so we don't want to execute this when we are on the first row "if (this.index > 0) {"

Regards
