Tally Margin

What happens when your data replaces the sample

What Tally Margin does when the data is longer, shorter or emptier than the sample:

Fixed page furniture Never grows, never moves

the foot rule with the report footer and folio; a one-line running head on every sheet after the first (both fixed height)

Repeats per record One block per row of your data

invoice lines (each a measure row with its figures hung in the margin; the column heads repeat on page break); the margin's fact rows; tax groups in the tally

Grows with your data Absorbs long values without breaking

the customer address; line descriptions; the narration; the payment block

Pinned to every page Holds position across page breaks

the foot rule sits at the bottom of every sheet; the running head at the top of every later sheet

Order on the page What sits after what

the parties after the title block; the lines after the parties; the tally and the meter after the lines, with payment and notes beside them

Page breaks What may split, what must not

the lines may split across pages, a row never; the tally with its meter and the payment block must not

Last page How the document ends

the tally, the meter, the payment block and the notes may occupy the final page alone; the running head and foot rule carry it
