Hi,

I'm not sure if this is poosible.

I'm writing a confirmations statement for our clients and have a number of sections that are conditional. However, I want a right hand panel to be displayed regardless of which section is being shown. Kind of a over layer if that makes sense.

Here's an example of the design so far.. it's the right hand column I always want to show, regardless of what's included in the main body.




thanks

Not exactly following what you mean specifically but as a general concepts to work with

1. consider placing the right hand column as a details A with underlay following section and palce everything else on details B as your suppression location
2. conditionally suppress fields rather than sections
3. use grouping and a group header or footer for you display rather than details

Hi,

I can see why you didn't understand. the image has been restricted so you can't see the far right. The forum doesn't have an auto resize function. :(

I got round this by setting up a header with the address details on the right then checked the "Underlay Following Sections" option in section expert.

Thanks
