Record Layout Settings

The Record Layout settings determine record layout and control which records and lines Report Builder prints. All of these settings affect where Report Builder places page breaks, especially Suppress Empty Record/Group Lines, Suppress All Record Lines, and Break Record Area Across Pages.

When calculating the number of lines that can fit on the page, Report Builder ignores blank record, group header, and group footer lines compressed by the Suppress Empty Record/Group Lines option. In addition, it ignores record lines suppressed by the Suppress All Record Lines option and any lines whose printing is suppressed with the Band Line Properties Logical Field option.

Report Builder uses the Break Record Area Across Pages option to determine whether to allow page breaks to occur within record areas that occupy more than one line.

NOTE: When printing more than one record across the page, Report Builder controls pagination by using the actual number of record lines, not taking into account blank line suppression or line logical conditions.
