Hello all,

How can I print the page numbers in a correct way? I now there’s an option under the properties section - Print on Every Page but I’m unable to find that option in report designer. 

 

 

FYI, there are no joins/tables being used in here as it is just a simple form.

@Harry  - That’s not really how it’s designed to be used.  
If you want to explicitly control page breaks, then you’re looking at doing as Arthia suggested, you can force page breaks in a group footer to start a new page.

If you’re looking to do a bunch of different reports as a batch, it might be worth investigating setting up each page as a sub report, and then just having the main report call a series of subreports?   
It would probably perform terribly compared to coding everything into 1 report, but might make more sense for what you’re trying to achieve.

What are you wanting to achieve with your different pages?

Hi ​@Harry , Use =[PageOf] to print the page numbers

Hello, just an update,

I currently added a group footer, and added the Page Count text box in it. But it not displays the page number still. Whereas the other content in the same group footer is getting printed on every page.

Hey ​@arthia98 , thanks a lot. I have a set of 20 pages needed to be designed in the same report. So I assume 20 pages would be displaying in the report. I have designed the first page but unable to move the content of the 2 page from my original doc into report designed so that it should also display it in second page in acumatica’s report output. How to do so?

You can use PageBreak in sections to get the data to display in new page of the report.

But then the report designer is leaving space for the content in the first page if i m going to pring it on second page using page break. I added a new section for the new page.
