# Editing the Overflow After Importing

To work with an Overflow page, it must be added and configured.

## Adding a new image to an .REQ file

To add the overflow page to a static document after it has been added to the image:

1. Open the .req file and select Static > Import xTemplate....
2. In the Syncronize with xTemplate dialog, navigate to the desired file and select OK. The Field Changes window appears.
3. Select Apply Changes to return to the main window.

## Setting up the Overflow page

Before doing anything with the document, the setup of the Overflow page must be completed. To do so:

- Select Static > Continuation Page Setup.
- Select Continuation Page, then select the last page, and finally select OK.

## Setting up the Overflow page fields

The entire overflow comes in with red fields.
The continuation field should have the business logic of “Overflow Content” but no PTR should be written in the field. If a field needs to use the overflow page, it is specified in the Field Grid tab. In the Field Grid there is a column title Overflow which is where a particular field may be selected to overflow.
The cells within the Overflow column have the following options:

- Behavior: This is the value that is entered to identify how the specific field will act when the transaction data does not fit into the available space. It allows the field to be manipulated in size of text and determines whether or not it overflows to the overflow page. For the overflow page there are three options.
  - ReduceFontAndContinueOnTheOverflowPage prints as much as it can in the field and then prints the rest on the continuation.
  - ContinueOnOverflowPage continues the rest of the text on the overflow.
  - PrintEntireContentOnTheOverflowPage prints nothing in the field and sends all content to the overflow.
- Forwarding Message: This is the value that is entered to identify the text to print on the forms when there is overflow. Example: “See Attached”, "See continuation page".
- Page: This is the value used to identify where the overflow page information will be placed.
- Overflow Description: This is the value placed on top of the Continuation Page field, if needed. This is not the title of the page but rather the title for the overflow element.

After at least one field has been set to overflow, scroll to the bottom of the field grid to view the continuation field for the overflow page. In the overflow column for the continuation field, select the Target checkbox to set that as the field to which the others overflow.

Save the file to save all changes.
