The report viewer needs to display:
1) the total number of pages on the viewer itself and
2) if you are not viewing the first page it should tell you what page you are currently viewing.
I know we can add the page number field to the report but it should always display on the viewer.
In this case it told me it was generating pages but not how many pages the report is.
"Display page number on report viewer"
Thanks for your suggestion Kelly81 The page number will always display in the bottom right hand corner of all pages of reports in AccountRight.
This is not a field that has to be added, it is always there. If you scroll down to see it while the report is still generating, it will update as it goes, displaying the number of pages already generated and updating when another page is generated.
I'm sorry Kelly81 if I've misinterpreted your request. Can you please clarify your request for me, so that we can look into for you. The information that you seem to be asking is already available without any changes being made. If you can please let me know what additional information you'd like displayed we can look into whether or not this can be accommodated.
Hello Liam_M,
I think you aren't aware of the programattic difference between the actual report (the piece of paper) and the report viewer software. As such you may not have any programming language background.
The features I am asking for do not exist in the report viewer, i.e. the software program that houses the displayed report.
In my first post I made it clear that I was referring to the report viewer software and NOT the actual report. Yes, the actual report can be made to display the number of pages but the report viewer (different object) should display that information seperately in an always viewable spot.
If this still doesn't make sense I will modify and repost my screenshots so that it is plain obvious.
Hi Kelly81
Thank you for your clarification in regards to your idea.
I assume you are referring to something like Microsoft Office's page display for documents. i.e. the Page 1 option when you use the scroll bar on screen or Adobe Reader's page setting at the top of the window i.e.
I would encourage other users that would like to see the option for a page display on the report viewer to vote and comment if required for this idea
