Title: Section headers and page breaks
Post by: zekehall on 11 Apr 2024 08:54:14 AM
This issue finally got me to sign up for COGNOiSe because I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere. I'm worried it isn't possible to do what I want, but I'd rather have confirmation of that than to be still holding out hope that this is possible.

So my issue is basically that I often make reports that are lists of projects, and I section out my list by District. Sometimes, a page break will fall between a section header and the first row of data for that section, and I don't like that. I know how to make each section start on a new page, but sometimes I only have a few records in each section, and I don't like the idea of having a 7 page report with each page being only 25-50% full. Is there a way to force the section header to the next page if the page break falls immediately after it?

I've attached an image of a recent report where this was an issue. Thanks for the help!
