But the thing is that there are three different layouts

1.Bill summary page 2. SMe page 3.I&C page...all three are different.i need to display the bill summary page and then either SME layout or I&C layout based on certain condition as the next page.so please let me know how this is possible.Please note all the three pages to be displayed are entirely different and i need to do this using a single Form.

Hi Ravi,

Define 3 pages say

B1 - Bill summary page

B2 - Sme Page

B3 - I &C page

In the page attribute dont define a static next page.

In the main window of B1 add two command nodes , one for each B1 & B2 to trigger the dynamic page break . In the conditions tab of command node give the condition so that either Command Node 1 should be executed or the other one ( the condition should be mutually exclusive i.e. both should not be processed at same time ) .

For dynamic page break help check this -

You should insert a main window in SME page, so you should insert the conditions to decide what print when you're running BILL page or SME page.

Hi Ravi ,

It is not possible to have a data spread to multiple page without a main window. Why dont you have a main window in page B2 also . Define next page as B2 in the page definition of B2.

Window is just a place holder . On page B1 / B2 you can have different content printed in main window . Use different text nodes for B1 & B2 inside main window . To control whether a TEXT node ( or for that matter any type of nade ) will be output in page B1 or B2 you can use the condition tab of the node. Here you have an option to "And Additional Event" -> Only on Page where you can put either B1 or B2 .

Cheers .
