How to add a Page Breaks in a Report? [message #123196]

This is a really basic question but I could not find any information in
the BIRT 2.0 help documentation that describes the process of enabling
page breaks in report designs. My report current brings back about 5
Letter sized pages worth of information, but the "Preview in Web Viewer"
option within the stand-alone BIRT Designer still shows all the data in
one page. The report consists of a Master Page with a header and a footer
defined. The header has the report name and the footer has the Page
number and the current date. The Normal page in the report contains a
single TABLE element pointed to a database SQL query.

Thanks.

By default, an HTML report appears on a single page unless you set one of
the following pagre break properties:
- Page Break Before. You set this on a top-level element or a top-level row
to insert a page break before the element/row.
- Page Break After. You set this on a top-level element to insert a page
break after the element/row.
- Page Break Interval. Unlike the previous properties, which also apply to
PDF reports, this property applies only to the HTML report. You specify the
number of data rows to display per page.

Note that the page size specified in the master page does not have an effect
on a HTML report. An HTML report does not have an absolute size because its
contents adjust to the size of the viewer window.

Hope this helps.
