# Regions

**Applies to:** Lasernet 9

With the **Regions** function, you can organize data (patterns) in a Conditional Area and you can add one or more fixed regions to the same Conditional Area. You can also set individual rearranges assigned to the header and the footer of a region like text labels, shapes and calculations.

On the illustration below, you can see several regions included in the Conditional Area. For each region, text labels as well as shapes in the header are added. Different patterns containing the item lines are assigned to each individual region and calculations, and shapes are added to the footer.

Names and the order of regions are maintained on the **Output** tab of the **Conditional Area** dialog which is accessed via the **Sheet** menu. Moving regions **Up**/**Down** can effect the order of printed regions in the form design.

> [!NOTE]
> Note

> When applying the **Same As Previous Pattern** option to a pattern, the pattern is added to the same region as the previous one while processing. This is convenient if a pattern has no special identifier and data included in the pattern belongs to the previous pattern.

1. Edit the **Article** pattern as well. For this pattern, select A**dditional costs** from the **Output Region** drop-down box.
2. Click **Ok** on both dialogs to confirm changes.

You have split the item lines into three regions in the following order:

- the first region contains item lines without discount;
- the next region contains item lines with Discount;
- the last region contains item lines with additional costs.

1. Edit the **No Discount** region by setting **Additional progress** to **15 mm**.

Set the same values for the **Discount** region.

An additional progress of 15 mm has been added to each region.

1. Use the **Text** tool to add the **Article** text at any position on the **Middle Page** of the output.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-VKEKN3BB.png)

1. Edit properties for the fixed text by setting **Relative to** to **Top of region**.
2. Set **Region** to **Discount**.
3. Select the **All pages** checkbox.

These settings allow adding the rearrange to the top of the region for each page where this region is inserted.

1. On the Property bar, set the **X** position to **15 mm** and the **Font style** to **Bold**.

1. Use the **Text** tool to add five more additional rearranges containing the following text labels: **Description**, **Quantity**, **Disc.**, **Price** and **Amount**. Follow the same steps as you did adding the **Article** text. These labels are names for the columns.

You can also copy the **Article** text, paste it in the output and edit every copied text labels by selecting each of it and clicking **F2**.

1. On the Developer toolbar, click **Shape**, then click **Line** and draw a line in the output.
2. Edit the the **Line** properties by setting **Relative to** to **Bottom of region**.
3. Set **Region** to **No Discount**.

Let us use a new and quick method to create a copy of the labels and assign them to the region of item lines with **No Discount**. To this end, follow these steps:

1. In the output, switch to the **Middle Page** tab.
2. On the **View** menu, click **Property Editor**, and then select the **Property Editor** checkbox.
3. Use the **Select** tool to select all the labels assigned to the region called **Discount**. After selecting, copy and paste (**Ctrl-C** and **Ctrl-V**) items.

Important: Do not de-select any objects after they have been copied.

1. On the **Property Editor** panel, edit the **Region** property under the **Relative** subgroup of the **Position** group and set the **No Discount** value for the selected rearranges.

1. Finally, you can add the **Additional costs** fixed text as a header for the **Additional costs** region. And there is no help this time... because now you already know how to do it!
