Header and Footer only on the first page PDF

[Karlygash_M]

Hello Dear Alteryx users 😊,

How to put header and footer on the first page of the Alteryx?

There is an option how not to show it on the first page)))

Thanks a lot, 

Attached the workflow

Hey @Karlygash_M,

If you only want it on the first page you have to do a small workaround. 

Split your first page from the rest of the datastream and then use the header and footer on one part, and the other don't use a header/footer. Then combine the datastreams via. Union. 

It should look like this:

Then select a Line Break selector in the render tool. 

See the attached WF.

I have dynamic pages, for example if i have one page header and footer should on that page

But if i have more than one the footer should on the last page.

By your approach i think it is more in static way

@Karlygash_M  It doesn't need to be static

Once you've made your report, if you have 1 row per page, then you can use a record ID tool and a filter to separate the first page.
You can attach the header and footer to this, then union the false stream onto the outcome.

If there are multiple pages, then they won't have the header and footer, but if there's only 1 page then nothing will be unioned in :)

Hope that helps,

Ollie

Sorry, didn't fully understand at first.

Similar approach, using recordId, count records appends and filters.

Firstly filter to [Count]=1 -> here you can attach your header and footer to the true stream; and a layout to combine vertically into a single snippet

Off the false outcome, filter again to [RecordID]=1 -> here you just attach your header; and a layout to combine vertically into a single snippet

Off the false outcome, filter again to [RecordID]=[Count] -> Attach the footer to the false output; and a layout to combine vertically into a single snippet

You then union (with a set output order):

#1 Layout from T of first filter

#2 Layout from T of second filter

#3 Layout from F of third filter

#4 Layout from T of third filter

This will dynamically attach a header to the first row and a footer to the last

Hey @Karlygash_M,

Well, I think you are not correct. With my logic you can dynamically specify which page goes into which Reporting Tool, and thereby select dynamily infront.

Depending on your data, this might be complicated, but it doesn't have anything to do with the technical header/footer logic anymore.

Hey @Karlygash_M 

sorry, didn't have access to Alteryx yesterday. Here's what I was talking about:
