I have a 3 page file. Page 1 is unused. Page 2 & 3 are my fronts &

The data file has 50 records. I would like to print the fronts &
backs (pages 2&3) - the number of times that exists in the Quantity
field. Then when the next record starts, Page 1 gets printed one
time to act as a "slip sheet". Then page 2&3 print the number of
times in the quantity field and so on. I haven't achieved this
successfully yet, but wouldn't the OnRecordStart rule pull my unused
body page every time as the OnJobStart rule with the repeat record
comes first?
What conditions are you using to activate the "slip sheet" page?
There has to be something to key off of in the OnRecordStart rule to
know when to do that.
If each record has some kind of unique identifier in it, you can have
the OnRecordStart rule add the slip sheet whenever that value
changes. You can do something like this in OnRecordStart:
var FieldNameToCheck = "LastName";
var thisFieldValue = Field(FieldNameToCheck);
if (lastFieldValue != thisFieldValue)
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Slip", true);
lastFieldValue = thisFieldValue;
And add this in your JavaScript Globals:
var lastFieldValue = "";
This should trigger the slip sheet whenever you start a new batch of
records.
Or, if you don't have any unique identifier to key off of, you should
be able to add a field to specify when you're starting a new "batch"
of repeated records while you're rewriting your input file in
OnJobStart.
