Force a Page Break After Every Group In Ad Hoc Table Report

Use Case

Customer created an Ad Hoc Table Report with a group. By default, the report may display more than 1 group in a single page.

Customer would like to force a page break after every group of the report.

Resolution

Ad Hoc Engine automatically creates a Group element in the generated Ad Hoc Table Report if underlying Ad Hoc View has a group.

The Group element has a property called 'Start New Page' (isStartNewPage) :

http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/api/net/sf/jasperreports/engine/JRGroup.html#isStartNewPage--

If this option is set to True, it forces a page break at the end of the group (that is, at the beginning of a new group).

By default, the property is set to False in the generated Ad Hoc Report.

This can be changed by opening the Ad Hoc Report in TIBCO Jaspersoft^® Studio, 'Repository Explorer' tab and setting the property value to True:
