Using the GroupPagination Function

Use this group function to define the requirements for keeping certain sections (groups) together on pagination. The GroupPagination parameters are:

Parameter

Description

MinImagesOnCurrent

Defines the minimum number of sections required on the current page. The default is zero (0).

This rule counts all sections triggered in the group, even if a section has no size. It totals the section sizes to determine the minimum number of sections which can be placed in the remaining space on the page.

If a section has no size or is flagged as view only, the section is placed on the page.

MinImagesOnNext

Defines the minimum number of sections required for new and next page. The default is one (1).

NeverSplit

Requires that all sections within the group must remain together on same page—pagination can never occur within the group. The default is No.

CheckNextPage

Requires that the next page be checked to confirm that the entire group cannot fit on the next page before splitting can occur. The default is No.

The following example requires that a minimum of two sections appear on the current page, and a minimum of three sections appear on any subsequent pages. This example also requires that the next page be checked to confirm that the entire group cannot fit on the next page before splitting can occur. In addition, the second section is defined as the header for the group and is to be copied on overflow. Plus the fourth section is defined as the footer for this group.
