Display Dynamic Values on Report Header

Question

Hello! I am facing an issue in OAC BI Publisher. I need my report to repeat the information about the group of data I am displaying on its header, but I can't get the desired behavior.

Imagine I have the same report structure running for n different sections, defined by repeating groups on the report. Each page should contain information about that specific group on its header.

If I put the variable inside the repeating group (Picture 1), it works fine, but the value do not repeat on every page, since the table continues. However, when I move the variable to the header (Picture 2) it displays on every page but does not change based on the page's content.

All the behavior is indeed expected, but what could I do to have the value repeating on every page and also changing based on context?

Breno, it seems like we are looking for the same thing, I work at HAPVIDA, I tried to reproduce what the friend above recommended, but without success.

It appears you are using an xpt template for this. I am not so used to it for such requirements. Maybe try using an rtf template and use the <?call template?> feature in the header section in the rtf.

Let know if it helps.
