Balance Rail

What happens when your data replaces the sample

What Balance Rail does when the data is longer, shorter or emptier than the sample:

Fixed page furnitureNever grows, never moves

full-height slate rail on the right carrying the issuer block, the amount due, the past-due figure, the five-bucket aging schedule and the remit-to details — every one of those is fixed cardinality, because chrome is fixed height and anything that grows there is clipped without warning; foot rule under the ledger column

Repeats per recordOne block per row of your data

transaction rows in the ledger column (column heads repeat on page break)

Grows with your dataAbsorbs long values without breaking

the billed-to block; account-manager block; the two closing notes under the table

Pinned to every pageHolds position across page breaks

rail spans the full page height on every page; foot rule sits at the page bottom of the ledger column on every page

Order on the pageWhat sits after what

period summary strip after the addressee block; ledger table after the strip; closing notes after the table

Page breaksWhat may split, what must not

the ledger table may split across pages; the period summary strip and the closing notes must not

Last pageHow the document ends

the closing notes may occupy the final page alone under a re-drawn table head — the rail carries the amount due and the whole aging schedule on that page too, so a tail page still states the balance and its age without the ledger above it
