I've been scouring the web for a good example, but cannot figure out how to add a page break to an ActiveReports report programmatically. The reports I'm working with usually require 1-2 pages for each record. In order to support dual-sided printing of the reports I want to insert a blank page for each record that uses an odd number of pages, ensuring that each new record is printed on the front of each printed page.
I'm very new to ActiveReports, so any suggestions, code samples, or links are much appreciated!
There are two ways to do this and the best option depends on the data and your report.
Option 1: Page Break Control
You can add the PageBreak control to the report in a specific location and programatically set the Enabled property of the PageBreak control to determine whether it creates a page break or not. See this page for documentation on the Enabled property of the PageBreak control:
Option 2: Section.New Page
The other option is to use the NewPage property of the section. In this case you can set the NewPage property of the Detail or GroupHeader or GroupFooter section to trigger a page break. Try setting it from the Format event of the section. See this page for documentation on the NewPage property.
The support forums dedicated to ActiveReports support on the GrapeCity website are active and also a great way to get suggestions and help on ActiveReports.
Hope this helps!

I am on Msoft SQL Server Report Builder, v15.0
I have a multi page report that no matter that forces a blank page every 2nd page.
I have searched through the tablix properties, report properties, header & footer properties and have not found a culprit yet.
I fear that there are somehow some hidden pieces that are causing this issue, but I do not know how to be able to see the hidden pieces.
I have opened the .rdl file up in notepad++ and started walking through the code, but I am not certain where I should look at in there that would cause my problem.
It is a 10 column report that is generated from a dataset culled down, but the report has 3 calculated fields in it, including a column which generates a ranking number.
If you know of a explicit piece of code I should search for that would be awesome, but I know that is a needle in a snowpile.....
Found finally what I had done...
my durn body was the same width as the page sheet so it was pushing the margins off and creating a new page.
Here is a good walk through of what I found.....

Is it possible to have a Table Panel in Grafana, and when you click on a row, it shows a graph from another set of time series?
I see there is a feature request for it, but I'm not sure it's available yet
https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/5481
Looking for any suggestions on making the rows in a Table Panel
'clickable' and use it to drill down to a more detailed view (another
dashboard using Template variables). Currently displaying a summary of
several servers as rows in a Table Panel and we want to select an
individual row (i.e a server) to drill down to a more detailed
Dashboard.
Any ways to do this?
Thanks
You can achieve this also in 4.x by defining a link for a table column (in the Column Styles section under Visualization). The link can refer to another dashboard and embed current cell's value (or other cell in the same row) as a parameter.
For example the link Url can be:
/d/c9xaXx5Zz/tree-node?var-datasource=$datasource&var-interval_id=${__cell_1}&from=$__from&to=$__to&var-path=root
In Grafana 6 or above you can preserve the time range filter using the $__from and $__to built-in vars.
The available built-in variables to access cell contents are not well documented, but they can be found by hovering over the (i) icon of the Url in the table panel.
More info on built-in vars: https://grafana.com/docs/reference/templating/#global-built-in-variables
The feature request you linked to is a duplicate of this one which links to this Pull Request. The PR was recently merged so it is available now as a nightly build and will be included in the upcoming 5.0.0 release in September/October.
Drill Down Option can be used from General option from Grafana Dashboard.
Copy the link in the Url of the table which you want to show. Change the items in the variable part which is changing according to the need.It will be of format var-name=value
The link URL works well if you are linking to another dashboard, but it does not work well if you are changing a variable on the same dashboard as it does not auto-refresh.
You can add JavaScript into the URL instead of a link.
javascript:$('a.variable-value-link').trigger('click'); $('span:contains(${__cell:raw})').closest('a').trigger('click');
The JavaScript only works for a single dropdown, it would have to be updated if there were multiple dropdowns. I worked on this quickly, so I am sure there is a better way to use JavaScript to change the variable. It basically opens the dropdown, finds the value from the current row and selects it.
IN Telerik report I have an issue with break page. I have groups on my report. So some pages just display only one grouped item although below of the last row there is a large blank area. I want the next grouped item to be shown below the first item on the same page. Please see image for more detail.
I want content of report to fill up full page
Please help me solve this problem. Thanks
Table Group Explorer, Group Properties,
make "KeepTogether: False" in Misc Section
or
In the table property, make "KeepTogether: False" in the Behavior section.
BIRT 3.71v20110905
One of my data fields is a CLOB with html tags. I'm using the Dynamic Text Control in my report. This specifically happens when:
The Dynamic Text Control content type is to HTML or Automatic
in my case since I have html tags in the data. (Problem does not occur if I set the content type to Plain, but then the HTML tags show up in the report output as text.)
and
The total amount of data to be displayed by the control is more than one full page on its own
(without taking into account spacing used by other controls). If the
total amount of data to be displayed by the control is less than one
full page but can't all fit on the current page, it works as expected (meaning it displays what it
can on the current page and wraps the rest correctly onto the next
page.)
Is this a bug in the calculation for the DTC pagination?
Additional notes - I encountered this while trying to use a sample report that inserts a page break as needed between groups for duplex printing. It works great under most circumstances, but not when this DTC pagination issue rears up. ( GroupAlwaysStartsOnOddPage.rptdesign )
Sorry to disappoint, but this is a known issue and has not yet been resolved. At least not in the version of BIRT that Maximo is using.
What I tend to do is break the dynamic text where possible, experiment until I get the largest possible part on one page and put the rest into another dynamic text field.
This is obviously only a work around, but as far as I know there is not much else that you can do.
We ran into this problem with a dynamic text field containing HTML content coming from IBM Maximo long description fields. The report was designed in BIRT 3.7.1 Designer.
We were able to work around the duplication bug by changing the layout from Fixed to Auto. With Auto layout, it is also not necessary to change the Display setting of the field to "inline" (which we previously had to do to allow it to flow between pages without creating an initial page break).
In our case, changing the layout to Auto did not have negative effects on the appearance or geometry of our report.
I am creating SSRS Report using Microsoft SQL Server Report Builder 3.0.
I am having some page-break related problems. Whenever I insert a table in my report, it generates a page break at the end of the table.
Is there any way I can have this page break not generated?
Well, I don't really know why, but this worked for me:
Remove page header and footer, and put header/footer content in body itself (but this is not something you can do if your report has more than one page).
This is one check to make. In the tablix properties, find the Pagebreak - disabled property and see if it's set to "False." (If it is, set it to "True".)
