Dynamic footer row prints outside the content area - livecycle-designer

I'm using LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2.1. I also have a web application injecting data into the report I created with LiveCycle. The basic structure is the following:
1 Master page with 1 page and a content area containing a table filled with a list of object. My table has 1 header row, 2 body rows and a footer row that is added dynamically with page break condition.
The logic behind that is written in FormCalc. Our objects are sent as a list which fills either one or the other body row based on a type. Each object has an "authority" property with a certain value that are used to mark the pages. The list of object is sorted by authority. So, when the current iterating object has a different authority than the previous one, we insert a page brake and the footer row. Everything is wraped in a subform that is "In Content Area" (Object/Pagination/Place).
The problem is that the footer row is not considered as part of the content area. If the last line of a section fits tight in the content area, the footer row overflows outside the content area and even the whole page in some cases.
Here are more details:
We tried any combination of subform wraping and ticking of the "Allow page break with content" check box.
We tried changing the type of the footer row for a body row in case footers were different than body rows.
We tried every combination of "Keep with" and "place".
We tried to change the footer row to a body row and have it displayed on every page and that work, but our client refused the solution...
Starting with the above (pt 4) template and changing back the body to footer row brought us to the begining
To the best of our knowledge, we tried everyting possible...
What I'm looking for is either a confirmed bug for version 8.2.1 about this or a solution other than redesigning the whole report.

Dynamics Nav - How to highlight a row in a FactBox that contains a list

Relatively new to C/AL development. We have a FactBox page that contains a repeater with a Temporary table page source. The number of lines in the FactBox matches the number of lines in the parent page. The temporary records in the FactBox are accumulated one at a time based on a call from the parent page OnAfterGetRecord trigger. They are loaded into the FactBox based on a call from the parent page OnAfterGetCurrRecord trigger.
1a. For purposes of discussion, lets say there are 10 records in the parent page and in the FactBox page. How do I highlight the matching row in the FactBox when the user selects a given row in the parent page (e.g. they select row 3, I want to highlight row 3 in the FactBox)?
1b. How do I highlight multiple rows if the user selects multiple rows with Shift+Click or Ctrl+Click?
In the case of 1a above, OnAfterGetRecord is fired in the parent page with a filter equal to the key. In the second case, OnAfterGetRecord is fired in the parent page for each record selected by the user with a filter equal to 'Marked: Yes'. If I try to use Mark in the FactBox page, it filters the records so that only the selected ones are displayed in the FactBox, which is not what I want.
We are using 2013R2, although I would be interested in answers for other versions as well.
Thanks in advance for any ideas and/or suggestions.
PS. The FactBox is kind of a summary at a glance idea for each list row contained in the parent page. It contains a handful of temporary table fields that are populated from the parent page row primary key when the parent page OnAfterGetRecord and OnAfterGetCurrRecord triggers are fired. There is a 1 to 1 relationship between parent page lines and FactBox lines.
Basically, instead of having the FactBox oriented vertically displaying data only for the active parent page row, we transposed the FactBox vertical fields into a horizontal row of fields and display one row of FactBox data for each row of parent page data. The FactBox resyncs when the user sorts the parent page by clicking on the headers, etc.
Now I can’t even imagine your business case. Maybe if you spill it you will get a better advice.
Short answer for what you’re asking is.. you can’t. And you don’t want to. This is a factbox. It should provide extended information about line which you don’t want to put into repeater or fasttab because it is from related table. Hence the limitations.
And one more thing. Nav is very limited in terms of different fancy events and triggers. The only way to make it more advance is to write your own visual plugin which will replace most of the page’s interface. There you can do whatever JS (for example) allows you to do.

I want the four different footer on last page, first-page, odd-page, even-page using XSL-FO

I am making an XSL:FO file which contains four pages where first-page header contains the title of the chapter, and the odd and even pages has the footer of page numbers and last-page contains the footer of small table
Look at fo:page-sequence-master (see https://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#fo_page-sequence-master) and particularly at fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives (see https://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#fo_repeatable-page-master-alternatives).
You essentially want to set up your alternatives in the sequence 'first', 'last', 'rest'. (You could also set it up to have different page masters for odd and even pages if you wanted.)
See, for example:
"Switching between right and left page layouts (<fo:page-sequence-master>)" in "Comprehensive XSL-FO Tutorials and Samples Collection" at https://www.antennahouse.com/comprehensive-xsl-fo-tutorials-and-samples-collection/

Sales list force change of column in lines

I'm using the page below a POS sales list. Here the user can use the barcode pistol and pass the article and the code is translated into the item no.
The problem is when they use the pistol and end to pick a item and want to pass to next one the line go automatically to the first column (Item type) and my goal was to force to go into the second column (Item no), because the Item type is by default the type "product".
Only change the order of columns of Item no to Item product is not enough in this case.
Since ACTIVATE is not supported for controls in RTC.
Not many good options here.
Try using QuickEntry Property. Set it to false for all controls on subpage except No..
Create custom page with as less fields as possible, use it as buffer to scan all items and create sales lines upon closing of this new page. You can implement desired behavior on this page and keep original page almost unmodified
Create add-in that will intercept scanner output somehow.

Oracle/APEX Adding a row to an Interactive Grid with a Dynamic Action

Currently using APEX 5.1.4
My goal is to have the user press a button, which triggers a new row to be added to the bottom of the IG. This row would also need to have some default values pre-populated, such as the sequence column I have functioning as a primary key.
Doesn't matter how exactly, but I was considering doing it with Javascript. However, none of the methods I have found online, regarding adding a row with Javascript, work.
Also, I have the header bar of the IG removed, so finding the native Add Row Button probably is not an option.
--EDIT--
I found some Javascript that successfully allows me to add a row, however, it adds the row directly underneath the currently selected row. I do not see any methods to automatically select the last row of the IG, and it still doesn't solve that the row needs to have some dynamic values upon instantiation.
Here is the javascript:
This shows all of the available functions that can be invoked ( with .invoke() ):
apex.region("id-region-emp").widget().interactiveGrid("getActions").list()
These following lines both instantiate a new empty row on the IG:
("row-add-row" adds to top of IG, "insert-record" adds underneath currently selected row.)
apex.region("id-region-emp").widget().interactiveGrid("getActions").invoke("row-add-row")
apex.region("id-region-emp").widget().interactiveGrid("getActions").invoke("insert-record")
Better to use below code:
apex.region("detaildataset").widget().interactiveGrid("getActions").invoke("selection-add-row");
Before applying this code make interactiveGrid editable by clicking on attributes and also apply primary key on one column and then apply this code in Execute javascript code:
apex
.region("detaildataset")
.widget()
.interactiveGrid("getActions")
.invoke("selection-add-row");

Addressing multi-page table header rows in LiveCycle Designer

I am trying to dynamically hide a table column in LiveCycle Designer. The table spans multiple pages, and there is a header row at the top of each page. When I set the presence of the header row cell to "hidden", only the cell on the first page is hidden. How do I hide the header row cells on subsequent pages?
I accomplished this by creating an additional section with its own sub-record detail to house what would span multiple pages and left the original section to house only the header record.
So the breakdown looked something like this in the Hierarchy pane:
MainForm
+-MasterPage (Main layout)
+-subForm (Layer over Main page)
+-SubFormDetail (Sub For on Layer)
+-MainTable (Primary Table)
+-HeaderSection (Section to display first page only header)
+-DetailSection (Section to display multi-page rows)
+-DetailRows (Rows to display each records data)
Although admittedly this may not be the best method to accomplish what you are trying to do, it worked for my needs.
Hope that helps.
