    Page Breaks in Data Regions
    In This Topic

    You can control page breaks in data groups of data regions by using the NewPage property for data regions and its combination with the PageBreakAtStart, PageBreakAtEnd, and BreakLocation properties. These properties help you tune page breaks after or before a data group in your report and on which page to continue displaying the report content.

    The NewPage property works for the data regions - List, Table, BandedList, Tablix, Container, TOC, and Chart, and has the following options.

    You can use the NewPage property for the following data region groups:

    NewPage and PageBreakAtStart / PageBreakAtEnd

    See the possible combinations of NewPage with the PageBreakAtStart and PageBreakAtEnd properties. 

    PageBreakAtStart PageBreaktEnd NewPage > Next NewPage > Odd NewPage > Even
    False False No new page No new page No new page
    False True A new page is added after the data region. A new page is added after the data region and at odd page of the report. A new page is added after the data region and at even page of the report.
    True False A new page is added before the data region. A new page is added before the data region and at odd page of the report. A new page is added before the data region and at even page of the report.
    True True A new page is added before and  after the data region. A new page is added before and after the data region and at odd page of the report. A new page is added before and after the data region and at even page of the report.
