GOAL
Business Intelligence Publisher, Designing Layout Templates related issues

Document how to fix the height of a Data Table in a BI Publisher RTF template, independent of the amount of data used.

SOLUTION
Fixing the height of a Data Table in an RTF template is achieved by placing the following command in the first header cell of the table:

<?attribute@incontext:xdofo:fixed-height;'1in'?>.

The Fixed Height of the Table can then be changed by modifying the value before the "in".

When changing the value, a higher value will increase the Fixed Height of the table (essentially moving the Table higher on the page) and a lower value will decrease the Fixed height of the table which will move the Table lower on the page.

This functionality is achieved by adding blank rows to the bottom of the Table in order to make a Table the fixed height defined in the command.

As an example: the higher the set value, the more blank rows will be added to the bottom of the Table in order to obtain the defined Fixed Height.

When changing the value in the command, the results can be seen when viewing the output in PDF format.
