Use of Breaks in R:BASE Report Designer allows you to break your report into several sections, based on the value of the field specified in the "Breaks" .
You can create, edit, and delete breaks using the Breaks from Report Designer's menu option or (Ctrl+B).
As the report traverses the records of your data, it tracks the value of the Data Field (Column), Custom Field or Variable upon which the break is based. Each time this value changes, a break occurs.
Use the Break Header band to print headings or introductory information before a break starts. Use the Break Footer band to print summary information after a break ends.
To start a new page each time a break occurs, use the "New Page" property. Use the "Reset Page No" property in conjunction with "New Page" in order to enable subset page numbering, where each break has its own set of page numbers. "Reset Page No" is only available when a report break has the "New Page" property set to True.
Use "New Page Threshold" (New page when less than xx) option to set the minimum amount of space which must exist below a Break Header band in order for it to print on the current page. If this amount of space is not available, the Break Header will print on the next page. This property is most useful when
"New Page" is set to False and breaks are occurring near the bottom of pages.
New Page Threshold must be set based on the Units property of the report. For example, if the units are set to Inches and New Page Threshold is set to 3, Break Header bands will be forced to the next page when the remaining page space is less than 3 inches.
