2020.1

required by the pagination routines of Connect to
split the table across pages.
Differences in Dynamic Tables made with previous Connect versions
In Dynamic Tables made with Connect before version 2020.1:
l There is no data-expander attribute on the <table> element.
l The data-detail attribute on the <table> element specifies the name of the detail
table. (In tables made with Connect 2020.1 and up, this attribute has no value.)
l The data-show-row attribute can only have the value: all.
l The data-field, data-format, data-keep-when-empty, data-script and
data-sum attributes cannot be used.
l The data-showin attribute determines the visibility of a header row or footer row if the
table gets split over multiple pages. Its possible values are header, footer and break;
break may be combined with footer or header, for example: data-
showin="footer, break", to make the row show up on every page.
Dynamic Print section backgrounds
Print sections can have a PDF background image (see "Using a PDF file or other image as
background" on page464). This feature is often used to create a Print template from a PDF file
while making some minimal changes to it. Of course, the PDF file itself can't be edited in a
Designer template, but when it is used as a section's background, text and other elements,
such as a barcode, can be laid on top of it.
Dynamic backgrounds are switched automatically depending on the value of a data field.
Adding a dynamic background
Dynamic background PDFs can be added to a Print section using the Dynamic Section
Background Script Wizard if:
l One or more data fields contain values on the basis of which the PDFs can be switched.
l There is an appropriate PDF for each case. It is important that the PDFs are named after
the various possible values of the related data field.
l
All PDFs are stored in one folder (the Images folder on the Resources pane, or an
external folder).
