Hi there,
In our design, we are using a detail table to produce a table listing user transactions. This is a 2-column table that often runs onto many pages but the right half of our report is blank and we would like to use that white space.
We would like for our table to go down the left side of the page and then wrap back to the top of the page, go down the right side of the page before continuing onto the next page. Is this possible with a detail table?
Thanks!
Unfortunately this is not possible out of the box. The pagination algorithms apply to the main text flow which is currently a single column. There are methods to implement the scenario you describe but if heavily relies on scripting. This has an impact on the pagination performance so things depend on the amount of data (e.g. number of resulting pages) and the expected/required output speed.
Could you share your design and sample data or attached a screendump of the desired result?

Hi Erik,
Does your answer also apply to the current Connect? I have a detail table that consist of one column. I would like the data to be horizontal as apposed to vertical. Is it possible?

Would like the table to be like:

That will not work out of the box using the standard dynamic tables. It could be achieved using custom scripting though as long as the number of columns per row are fixed.
