Creating a Named Range — Continued Headers (Desktop)

What it is: A technique that makes the column headings of a note table automatically repeat at the top of the next page when the table spans a page break in the preview.

What it's for

When a note in the Annual Financial Statements is long enough to overflow onto a second page, the column headings (e.g. "Cost", "Accumulated Depreciation", "Carrying Amount") do not repeat by default. This makes the second page hard to read. Creating a named range pair — one for the heading row, one for the body — tells Draftworx to repeat the heading whenever the table continues onto a new page.

How to do it

Setting up continued headers (DX140)

Step 1 — Name the heading row

  1. Select the entire heading row of the table in the notes sheet.
  2. Go to Developer and select Create Named Range.
  3. Enter the table name followed by _RepeatHeader (e.g. PPETable_RepeatHeader) and click OK.

Step 2 — Name the table body

  1. Select all rows of the table except the heading row.
  2. Go to Developer and select Create Named Range.
  3. Enter the same table name without _RepeatHeader (e.g. PPETable) and click OK.

Step 3 — Enable continued headers in the preview

  1. Open the preview of the Annual Financial Statements.
  2. In the preview settings, go to the Notes section and make sure Content Continued Headers is ticked.
  3. The heading row will now repeat whenever the table continues on a new page.
