How can I get RPE to produce a separate document for each work item it processes?

I am using RPE 6.0.5 and 6.0.6 (from different machines,) reporting against RTC 6.0.5 and would like to get a separate document output for each work item the template finds and processes. Each item represents a unique and complete set of work, and is required to be turned in as a separate PDF document. I am not sure if this is truly possible.

I have tried using the Document Break element, but that doesn't appear to do anything at all, let alone what I need it to. It could be my expectation of that element's function or my usage of it, so any insight as to how to properly use that element would also be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hi John,
Document Break element adds a document break to the output resulting in a new file for Word output and a new sheet for Excel output. Please check if “Multipart Output” property is set to DYNAMIC.
You can find sample template in my blog:

Thank you for the quick reply. The blog post is helpful, as well as the note on setting the "Multipart Output" property in the .dsx file. In an effort to align my template with your sample (many thanks for that as well) I tried a couple of changes like moving the document break element to the top of my container (previously at the bottom) and adding the Dynamic DSC (unsure if this is relevant but wanted a good match for testing) which your post says is to reinitialize the query. However, I am still not able to get multiple documents. I must be doing something a little differently to cause it not to work for me. Any additional advice would be appreciated!

You can attach your template so that I can have a look.

Hi, this was useful, except that it seems to ignore the stylesheet for the word doc (i.e. headers and footers from my stylesheet are missing for each word doc). Have I missed something?


Thanks, 

Glyn

This example was very useful.
One thing I would point out is that the Document Break element has a Specific property for setting the name of the next word document/ excel work sheet
