Generating The Report

Numbering Restart in Nested Numbered List 

The GroupDocs.Assembly engine allows restart list numbering within your documents dynamically using «restartNum» tags. In particular, this feature is useful when working with a nested numbered list within a data band.

Assume that we are picking Order and Service classes as defined in the following Custom Objects of our business use case.

Given that orders is an enumeration of Order instances, you could try to use the following template to output information on several orders in one document.

<<foreach [in orders]>><<[Customer.CustomerName]>> (<<[Customer.CustomerContactNumber]>>)
1.	<<foreach [in Services]>><<[ServiceName]>>
<</foreach>><</foreach>>

The generated report will look as follows:

Jane Doe (+9211874)
	1.	Regular Cleaning
	2.	Oven Cleaning
John Smith (+458789)
	3.	Regular Cleaning
	4.	Oven Cleaning
	5.	Carpet Cleaning
John Smith (+458789)
	6.	Regular Cleaning
	7.	Carpet Cleaning
John Smith (+458789)
	8.	Oven Cleaning

However, there would be a single numbered list across all orders, which is not applicable for this scenario. Hence, you can make the list numbering to restart for every order by putting a «restartNum» tag into your template before a corresponding «foreach» tag as follows:

<<foreach [in orders]>><<[ Customer.CustomerName]>> (<<[Customer.CustomerContactNumber]>>)
1.	<<restartNum>><<foreach [in Services]>><<[ServiceName]>>
<</foreach>><</foreach>>

 Then, the generated report will look as follows:

Jane Doe (+9211874)
	1.	Regular Cleaning
	2.	Oven Cleaning
John Smith (+458789)
	1.	Regular Cleaning
	2.	Oven Cleaning
	3.	Carpet Cleaning
John Smith (+458789)
	1.	Regular Cleaning
	2.	Carpet Cleaning
John Smith (+458789)
	1.	Oven Cleaning
