New page in iReport

Question

Hi,

this is my situation:

1. I have a report with 10 (or more) items in detail area

2. I have a large text field that I would like to span across multiple pages (this text has nothing to do with items)

3. I am not able to create another page because all of my items fit nicely on the first page

How can I create (force) a new page to contain only some variable (static) text, on the page footer? In other words, how can I create a new page with no items?

Answer 1

Can you be specific about iReport version.

In 2.0.5, from the Edit menu choose "Insert page/column break" Put it in the band where you want to break. In the Properties dialog, make sure the Break Type is set to "Page"

I usually prefer to use it with "Print with expression" so it does not make an empty page when i dont have an empty report already.
