With the Regions function, you can organize data (patterns) in a Conditional Area as well as you can add one or more regions to the same Conditional Area. You can also set individual rearranges defining the header and the footer of a region as labels, shapes and calculations.

In this exercise, it is proposed to extend the table with a footer and a calculation for each region.

Exercise

Download and import the attached configuration called 26. Regions (Tables with footer) in Lasernet Developer 9. Afterwards, go to the Forms section and open the Sample form.

Before adding footers to tables, it is proposed to extend an additional progress between regions.

1. Open the Conditional Area dialog by right-clicking in in the form and selecting Conditional Area in the context menu that appears.

2. In the Conditional Area dialog, first select the No Discount region, and then click the Edit button. As a result, the Edit Region dialog opens. Set Additional progress to 22 mm, and click Ok to confirm changes. Afterwards, apply the same action for Discount region.

3. Edit the table properties for the No Discount region which is the top table in the output.

4. Switch to the Footer tab and set Height to 7 mm.

To toggle between column settings, use the Previous Column or the Next Column button. Once you are done, click Ok to confirm changes.

A new formatting is added to the footer of the the No Discount table.
