Jasper Reports - how to get column footer to appear directly below details band

Peanut picture Peanut · Jul 13, 2010 · Viewed 38.2k times · Source

I'm trying to get a column footer band to appear directly below a details band.

The details band contains normally just 2 or 3 rows and thus should not be very deep. The footer always appears further down the page and not directly below the end of the content in the details band - therefore the details band is higher than the content it contains. How do I get the details band to collapse to the end of the content so I can get the footer to appear immediately afterwards.

I'm sure this is simply a case of applying some settings - but I can't determine what these are.

Thanks.

In iReport set Ignore pagination to true in your main report's properties.

This should cause your footer to be render at the bottom of the content in your details band.
