Defining supplemental pages

You can define pages in an AFP file as supplemental pages when you do not want to include them in page groups. For example, header and trailer pages, separator pages, and any page that should be excluded from a customer statement can be defined as supplemental pages.
You can define supplemental pages with one or more triggers or index tags to uniquely identify a page that is outside a page group. When you define a supplemental page, you give it a page definition name. This lets you define multiple supplemental pages.
Note: The term page definition in AFP Indexer refers to a supplemental page definition, a page-level trigger, or a page-level index, not the AFP page definition resource.

In this section:

  1. Creating triggers for supplemental pages
    You can define supplemental pages by creating one or more triggers. A trigger is a block of text that occurs in a consistent location and uniquely identifies a page.
  2. Creating index tags on supplemental pages
    You can create one or more index tags on pages that are not included in page groups.
