NOTE: The Change Page Layout Dialog is used to specify the terms of occurrence applicable to a page set. Here, a page layout can be set to appear for All Pages, One Time Only or Multiple Times, as well as having a Condition for type specified from one of the following: All Other Pages (Rest), First Page Only, Last Page Only, Odd Pages, Even Pages, Blank Pages and Non Blank Pages.

2. Add Dynamic Page Set:

A dynamic page set allows a user to add pages to the document that are dependent upon data specified in the data source. These pages can be set to follow conditions, repeat as specified, and sorted based on the appropriate data.

•	The Dynamic Page Set options must be specified.

Note:

•	A data source must be assigned prior to exploring these options.

Condition: use this option for applying different conditions for displaying Dynamic Page Sets.

add_dynamic_page_set_condition

Repeat - specifies a repeating condition for the dynamic page set. For example, XF Designer can create only pages for those records containing a country value of "USA". This would be completed by inserting the following XPath syntax into the repeating section, or by using the Edit Expression dialog.

dynamic.page.repeat.jw

Sort - specifies a sort criteria when repeating pages. This function allows the sorting of pages based on dynamic data.

•	Select the arrow at the right of the Sort field. The Edit Sort Conditions dialog appears.

•	Select Add. The Edit Expression dialog appears.

•	Select the desired sort field from the xml data source.

•	Apply appropriate conditions on the right side of the Edit Sort Conditions dialog (Data Type, Sort Order, and Case Order).

•	Select OK.

Parent Set - specifies the parent page set. A dynamic page set which has a specified parent set will be repeated every time the parent set is repeated.

Below, there is an example on how to use the Parent Set option:

•	The following .xml file will be used

xml_parent_set

•	Firstly, a Dynamic Page set must be inserted

dynamic_page_set1_parent_set

•	Then, the Dynamic Page Set that will have as parent the first page set must be added to the document

dynamic_page_set2_parent_set

•	In Design View the pages will look like pictured in the screenshot below

design_view_parent_set

•	In Print Layout view mode, the child page set is repeated each time the parent set is repeated
