How to position a table after another another table

[jaspersoft_198]

I'm a little confused by the positioning elements in Jasper Studio. I have a report that contains two tables.

Table 1 has a position "Relative to Top" which is fine.

Table 2 also has a position "Relative to Top" but this only works if the Table 1 contains a certain number of rows or less. If it goes over that number the bottom of table 1 overlaps with the top of table 2.

What I would really like to do is have Table 2 be positioned relative to the end of table 1. But I don't see any option to do that.

It really ought to be possible to have objects flow down a page but I cannot see how to achieve it.

Any ideas please?

Thank you so much trvpseudo - exactly what I was looking for - the funny thing was on my screen that option wasn't showing up but it was there all along - just scrolled up the drop down list and there it was! DOH!
