Inserting Page Breaks

You can insert a page break before or after a report group header.

  To toggle page breaks:

  1. Select Report, then Section Boundaries to view the bands for the report components.

  2. Select a report group header.

  3. Select Insert, then Page Break Before or Page Break After.

    A check mark is displayed next to the selected page break option to indicate that it is active. Select this option again to clear the check mark and remove the page break.

    Item to Insert

    Steps to Take

    text

    Select Text Label from the Graphics folder, and drag the text label to the header/footer area.

    lines, rectangles, or oval graphic

    Select the graphic from the Graphics folder and drag it to the report header / footer area, or select Report , then Insert Graphic.

    picture graphic

    		Select the picture from the Graphics Catalog in Elements and drag it into the report header or footer area.

    You can also select Report, then Picture, use the left mouse button to draw the area in which you want the picture to be displayed, and select an image from the Select Image dialog box.

    When an Interactive Reporting document (BQY) is created and saved using 9.3.x releases, all images are saved in a centralized format (the Resource Manager). As a result, the images cannot be read or displayed in prior releases of Interactive Reporting. This is because the relocation and rationalization of the images is not understood by releases prior to 9.3.x.

    The exception is images from a document saved in a pre 9.3 Release, which have been referenced once: not copied, merged or duplicated, e.g. placed in Dashboard or Report workspace as a Picture graphic in traditional fashion.

    To retain compatibility with earlier releases, you can run the RevertImageResources script. This script provides a facility to undo the relocation and image merging, and thereby return the Interactive Reporting document to the pre-9.3 pre-Resource Manager format. This script is included with the 9.3. Release of Dashboard Development Services. It can also be downloaded from the Hyperion Developer Network. This script can only be used on the desktop, and not in the EPM Workspace, as it relies on the COM feature of Interactive Reporting Studio.

    Certain new features make documents ineligible for conversion to the non-Resource Manager format: for example if the 9.3 Interactive Reporting document has Bubble and Scatter charts, then these are lost when the Interactive Reporting document is opened in the older version ofInteractive Reporting Studio. For information on running the RevertImageResources script, see the Hyperion System 9 BI+ 9.3. Readme.

    Smart Chart/Pivot report

    Select a prebuilt Pivot report or Chart and drag it into the report header, group header, body, or footer area.

    Note that any Chart/Pivot dropped into a header/footer that is "owned" by data is focused by that piece of data.

    empty field (for a computed field)

    Select a field from the Fields folder and drag it to the report header, group header, body, or footer area, or select Report, then Insert Field.

    common report values (such as page number or page total)

    Select a field from the Fields folder and drag it to the report header or footer area, or select Report , then Insert Predefined Fields and click a field from the dropdown list box. Normally, fields are used in page headers and footer sections.
