The order of regions in the form design is determined by the order of regions in the Conditional Area dialog.

Exercise

Download and import the attached configuration called 27. Regions (Order and Page Break) in Lasernet Developer 9. Afterwards, go to the Forms section and open the Sample form.

1. On the Sheet menu, click  Conditional Area.

2. In the Conditional Area dialog, select No Discount region.

3. Click the Move Down button to move the No Discount item down, so it is listed below the Discount item. Thus, you reorder regions. Once you are done, click Ok.

The No Discount and Discount regions are now reordered.

The next step is to insert page breaks after the first two regions.

4. Open the Conditional Area dialog, select Discount in the Regions list, and then click the Edit button. In the Edit Region dialog, select the Page break after check box. Once you are done, click Ok to confirm the change.

5. In the Conditional Area dialog, select No Discount in the Regions list, and then click the Edit button. In the Edit Region dialog, select the Page break after check box.

6. Once you are done, click Ok to confirm the change.

Page breaks are now added after the two first regions. Switch between the grab file tabs as well as between the page tabs to see the effect. As a result, the number of output pages in the form has increased.

When the Sample (Multiple Pages).xml grab file is open, the Discount region (and only this region) is printed on the first and second page.

The No Discount region (and only this region) is printed on the third and fourth page.

The Additional Costs region is printed on the last page.

Note: You can right-click any of the page tabs: First Page, Middle Page, Last Page or Single Page, and select the required page check box to bring a region to focus.
