Question:
Is it possible to have an intelligent page break in reports? For example, in an assembly part list I want to avoid the situation where the page break appears in the middle of the assembly. Instead, the system would add a page break only if the whole assembly does not fit at the end of the page.
Answer:
Unfortunately the Template Editor does not currently support such an intelligent page break. The basic problem is that the Template Editor is not able to compare how many rows there are left at the end of the paper before it has actually written those rows. Once the system has already written the rows, it is too late to add a page break before the assembly in order to print the whole assembly on the next page.
