Overview
The Start of document block is printed once at the beginning of the report execution. In most cases, this block contains the title of the document as well as today's date and time.
In the event associated with this type of block, you can display, for example, a warning window to indicate that the printing has started.
Creating the Start of Document block

  1. Perform one of the following operations in the report editor:
    • on the "Creation" tab, in the "Structure" group, expand "Blocks".
    • select "Add a block" from the popup menu of the report (right mouse click on the report currently created).
    • click the "Add a block" button in the "Blocks" tab of the report description.
  2. Select the "Start of document" type.

    2. In the "General" tab, select "Print the "Start of document" block AFTER the "Page header" block on the first page".
  • Method 2:
    1. Open the report description (select "Report description" in the context menu).
    2. In the "Blocks" tab, in the "Start of document" section, check "AFTER the "Page header" block".
