Page Cycle Rule

[rsager]

Hello,

 

I am trying to create a rule that will return a cycle number (1-7) so our envelope machine can read the number. I have a 3 page letter with 1200 records and I end up with 3600 printed pages. I need the the page numbering to return back to 1 for page 8,15,22,29 and so on. Can a simple rule be created to do this.

 

Thanks

Yes, in FusionPro 8.1, you can use the OnPageNumber rule to modify the value set by the $pagenum variable.

Thanks Dan,

I have the OnPageNumber Rule but I'm not sure what the change would be.

 

// Note: Always returns 1 for rule validation in the Rule Editor

return FusionPro.Composition.currentPageNumber;

Probably this:

return ((FusionPro.Composition.currentPageNumber - 1) % 7) + 1;

The percent sign "%" is the modulus (remainder) operator in JavaScript.
