Pagination

Pagination refers to the organization of content into pages, usually with page numbers, in order to make it easier to read and navigate through the document. This also allows for easy printing and distribution of the report.

Let's discuss the single & multi-page options and pagination controls. In the Design ribbon, you'll find two options - ‘Single page’ and ‘Multi pages’.

1. Single page

'Single page' displays all the rows on a single page with a scroll(depending on the number of rows). Notice how all 880 rows in the report are displayed on the same page.

2. Multiple pages

By using the 'Multi pages' option, you can automatically display the rows that fit on a single page and split the report into multiple pages. In the example below, you can see that the table is split into 34 pages.

3. Pagination controls

When using the 'Multi pages' option, the following details are displayed in the status bar: Total rows, scrolling options to the first, last, previous & next page, and count of rows displayed on the page.

You can also turn off pagination from the footer. Hover over the footer and click the icon. In the footer context menu, disable the Pagination toggle. All the rows will be displayed on a single page.

In the next section, we'll look at adding a header and footer to the report.
