Controlling Page Break

TheShadraq

Attached is an example of what I am running into.

I have a report that has varying degrees of information, alternating colors when the Work Order number changes. Occasionally the details of this work order run on long and end up on a new page. This creates an issue where the full information of the work order is split up. My customer wants this to be corrected and I have no idea how.

Version: 3.4.2
Build: M20090211-1700

Thanks for your time,
Shadraq

Can you upgrade your BIRT version? I believe 3.4.2 Eclipse has BIRT 2.3.2. If I remember right, the "Avoid page break inside" functionality wasn't available until BIRT 2.5. (2.4 was skipped, so 2.5 is the next version up)

Mike,

Thanks for the suggestion. I must admin though, I haven't done that yet and am not entirely sure on how to do that. Is there a "How To" or something? Trusted sites to install the update? etc.

Thanks

You can download a newer version of BIRT at eclipse.org/birt. Without upgrading your best bet is probably to track the number of lines per page and manually page break if the next table has too many rows to fit on the remainder of the current page.

If you download a newer version of BIRT, you'll want to download the new all in one, copy your workspace so that you don't mess up your current one and test the reports you have in the new version to be sure they work correctly.

Thank you.

Mike, Upgrade complete to: 
 
Version: 3.7.2 
Build id: 20120216-1857 
 
I do see the Page Break --> Inside: Avoid. Below is a view of my report design. I have Avoid set at both the yellow highlighted area as well as the Grid/Table level. Ideas?

It's still not working for you? The data from those individual rows split across pages still? Or are you not wanting it to split between these two rows? Let me know. If you could reproduce the error in a way that I can run it, that'd be great!

Mike,

I had to revert back to my old version of BIRT due to Maximo 7118 limitations. I will save this thread until after our upgrade to 7.5 next month and revisit it with a solution if I get it working.

I appreciate your help, even if I did have to revert.

Thanks again,
Shadraq

Keep me updated. We should be able to find a way to get what you're wanting. When you revisit this, if you can create this issue in a version I can run, I can be a lot more helpful!
