1. Add Page Set:

Page sets allow users to created multiple pages with different designs and dependencies.

Select the desired Page Layout from the Available Page Layouts list.
Select the desired Occurrence by clicking on All Pages, One time only, Multiple times, or Conditional.

 

NOTE: The Change Page Layout Dialog is used to specify the terms of occurrence applicable to a page set. Here you can set a page layout to appear for All Pages, One Time Only or Multiple Times, as well as specify a Condition for type of 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.

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 pictured above to complete.
