Pages of a Form 

Definition

On the pages of a form you determine the page layout and the sequence of pages with different structures.

The page layout includes the page format (for example, DIN A4, Letter, DIN A5 landscape) and the position of the windows on a page.

Use

The individual pages of a form differ in their structure. The first page of an invoice, for example, contains the address, which you do not want to display on the next page; and you want to display the General Terms of Business on the last page. For each page, you must specify a next page to make the page sequence clear. You can also repeatedly call the same page if you want recursive output (for example, if the list of invoice items is very long and does not fit onto one document page).

The page break either is triggered automatically by the main window (see also Main Window and Subwindows) or you code it manually into the form logic (see also Specifying the Page Sequence).

Many forms contain only two pages of different structure: the first page, which calls the next page, and the next page, which calls itself. If the text does not entirely fit onto the second page, another document page is automatically displayed.
