The introduction

In the example we'll see how to create most common type of printing form, consisting of three sections :

Here are that three sections in the form:

• Header – rows from 1 to 13 inclusive .

• Tabular section: row 14 (position), which was replicated several times (10 times in this case).

• Footer – rows from 24 to 38.

Looking ahead, we highlight key points: 

When designing context, we will include two structure: HEADER and FOOTER, which in turn consist of elementary fields providing values. 

To implement tabular section, the context contains a nested table POSITIONS, consisting of four elementary fields - in accordance with the table of the Excel-template.

While form designing, we need to create corresponding «Pattern»  for each of the sections (Header / Positions / Footer) 

To implement loop at positions, we use the component «Loopstep» 

which is associated with the context nested table POSITIONS. Inside the loop we will insert the «Pattern» LINE, which is associated with the row of the table section in the Excel-template.

So, we have 3 patterns in the form: HEADER, LINE and FOOTER:
