line properties of any data selections in the source object or group that you want to tie to the value of
&current.line. Clear this option when one or more data selections that you do not want to modify
within each repeat.
Iteration condition: Set a condition on the current line of data. This is effective only within the line
range defined in the From/to line property. It determines whether the data selections of the element
that PlanetPress Design is currently processing and that reference that line or record appear in the
output. If a data selection does not appear in the output (the condition resolves to False), PlanetPress
Design inserts a blank space for it in the element. If the source object or group contains a data selection
object, and you do not want a blank space to appear when the condition you set here resolves to False,
you can set a line condition in that data selection object to remove the blank space. Any condition set on
the source object or group takes precedence over this condition. In other words, if a condition set on the
source object or group resolves to False, the object or group is not displayed, regardless of whether the
condition here resolves to True or False.
5. Click OK.
To repeat an object or group using a Line repeat for XML emulations:
You can repeat a group or an object according to the node selected by XPath.
1. In the Repeat mode field, select Line repeat.
2. Click to select the XML data.
3. In the From iteration and To iteration fields, enter the iteration range on which to repeat. The To
iteration field allows a value of 0. When To iteration is not zero, it must be higher than the value of From
iteration and is the last iteration index. If it is zero, the repetition occurs from the From iteration to the
maximum (or entire) number of elements.
4. Condition to Exit and Overflow: Use this condition to manage data overflow. Set it the to number of
iterations after which this object should stop processing data from the current data page. When this
condition becomes true, PlanetPress Design executes the remaining objects in the page and repeats the
page until all the remaining data has been processed. Set it by equating the condition with the
&iteration count variable and with the maximum number of lines that the object can process. If the
object can be used to print 15 lines of data from a statement, for instance, enter
=&iterationcount>=15
.
To collapse a structure created using the Repeat properties:
1. In the Structure area or the Page area, double-click the object or group.
2. If necessary, in the properties dialog box, click Repeat.
3. In the Repeat mode list, select No repeat.
4. Click OK.
15.2.17 Edit the Layering Order of Objects
To edit the layering order of objects:
• In the PlanetPress Design main menu, choose Page Layout | Arrange | Order and then choose any of
the following:
Bring Forward: Move the selected objects or groups forward one layer graphically. This also results in
moving the selected objects or groups downward one spot in the Document Structure.
Send Backward: Move the selected objects or groups backward one layer graphically. This also results
in moving the selected objects or groups upward one spot in the Document Structure.
Bring to Front: Move the selected objects or groups to the very front of all layers graphically. This also
results in moving the selected objects or groups to the bottom of the Document Structure.
Send to Back: Move the selected objects or groups to the very back of all layers graphically. This also
results in moving the selected objects or groups to the top of the Document Structure.
