You can instruct the engine to force movement to the next item within a data band using a next
tag. This feature is useful in label-print-like scenarios when you need to output data about a fixed number of items in a single table row like in the following example. Given that Clients
is a DataTable
instance having a field named “Name”, you can use the following template to output three client names per table row while outputting names of all clients in a single table.
<<foreach [c in Clients]>><<[c.Name]>> | <<next>><<[c.Name]>> | <<next>><<[c.Name]>> <</foreach>> |

In this case, the engine produces a report as follows.
A Company | B Ltd. | C & D |
---|---|---|
E Corp. | F & Partners | G & Co. |
H Group | I & Sons | J Ent. |
