forcing a new page

Hi all, I/m quite new to iReport and JasperReport, I don't find away to force to write content on a new page.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Create Report Group and check the "Start on new page" option. In your Group Expression put the logic you want to start a new group (i.e. new page).

thanks for reply,

I create a group between the two groups I want to separate in two different pages, I check the "Start in new page" option but nothing happen. Do I have to specify something particular in the Group Expression?

Yep, in the Group expression put in the condition by which you want the group to change, this can also be the name of a field or variable... If guess if there is no Group Expression then the group will never change, hence you will not get your page break. Note that Jasper does not do any internal sorting tho, so you will need to pre-sort your records in the required sort order (i.e. using ORDERBY if SQL datasource)..
