Control Page Breaks and Page Numbering

You can control page breaks and page numbering in a list, crosstab, table, or report page by choosing any of these options.

The options that are available depend on which object you have selected. All the options for all the objects are described in the following table.

Option	Description
Keep with header	Keeps all headers on the same page with the number of detail rows specified.
Keep with footer	Keeps all footers on the same page with the number of detail rows specified.
Keep with previous	Keeps the object with the specified number of preceding objects on the same page, if space permits.
Keep with next	Keeps the object with the specified number of subsequent objects on the same page, if space permits.
Reset page count	Resets the page count after a page break to the value specified.
Reset page number	Resets the page number after a page break to the value specified.
Repeat every page	If the report renders multiple pages, this object is repeated on every page.
Allow contents to break across pages	Allows contents to break across pages. In lists and crosstabs, controls whether a cell is broken across pages, which is useful when there is a lot of text.
Allow horizontal pagination	In PDF output, allows the columns of a list or crosstab to break across horizontal pages if they do not fit on a single page. Tip: In lists, you can select the Repeat every page option for list columns that show on every horizontal page. If the Allow horizontal pagination option is not selected, the size of the list or crosstab is scaled down when necessary so that it fits on a single page. Tip: The Horizontal Pagination sample report in the GO Sales (analysis) package includes horizontal pagination. For more information about The Sample Outdoors Company samples, see Sample Reports and Packages. If your report includes nested data frames such as a list within a list, horizontal pagination is supported on either the parent or child frame, but not both. If horizontal pagination is enabled on both the parent and child frame, it will be ignored on the child frame when the report runs. We recommend that you do not enable horizontal pagination on both the parent and child frames. Horizontal pagination is not supported for data container, such as a list or crosstab, that are nested in repeater tables. You can also specify page number options that use compound numbering schemes. For example, you can use the numbering scheme 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 2-2, and so on. For more information, see Insert Page Numbers in a Report.
Enable horizontal page numbering	Increments page numbers of horizontal pages separately from the main page numbers when you select a page numbering style that includes horizontal pages. For example, if a page has three page breaks horizontally and you selected the page number style 1a, the horizontal pages are numbered 1a, 1b, and 1c. If you did not select a numbering style that includes horizontal pages, the horizontal pages are all numbered 1 for the first vertical page, 2 for the second vertical page, and so on. If this option is not selected and there are horizontal pages, all pages are numbered sequentially. For example, if a report has two vertical pages and three horizontal pages, the PDF pages are numbered from 1 to 6. Pages 1 to 3 are the three horizontal pages for the first vertical page and pages 4 to 6 are the three horizontal pages for the second vertical page.
Allow row contents to break across pages	In tables, allows the contents of a row to break across pages. For example, if a row contains four lines of text, the first two lines from the row appear on the first page, and the last two lines appear on the next page.
Repeat table rows on page break	In tables, if a row breaks across pages, repeats the rows that were previously rendered on each page. By default, table rows are repeated. Note: This option applies to saved reports only. In interactive HTML reports, table rows are always repeated even if this option is not selected.

You can also specify the style to use for page numbers.
