Uncheck this option to keep the empty table in the output.
This setting corresponds to the data-hide-when-empty attribute (see "A Dynamic
Table's data- attributes" on page807).
l

will be repeated once for each record in the detail table. See "Dynamic Table" on
page793.
l

l

multiple pages. The options are:
l

l
All: The row will appear on all pages.
l
Before page break: The row will appear on all pages except the last one.

l
All: The row will appear on all pages.
l
Before page break: The row will appear on all pages except the last.
l
After page break: The row will appear on all pages except the first.
l
At end of table: The row will only appear on the last page.
This setting corresponds to the data-show-row attribute (see "A Dynamic Table's data-
attributes" on page807).
l

path is often images/<imagefile>.<extension>
When the source is a PDF, an addition button appears next to this box that opens the
"Select Image dialog" on page989.
l
Sum: Adds a running total (i.e. a subtotal) to a cell in a Dynamic Table. See "Adding
subtotals" on page800.
l
