Map Item for Page Break Report Parameter

Explanation

This activity is used to define an item for a page break report parameter. Once the page break parameter for a report is defined, it can be connected to a Standard, and associated with items that the page breaks will conform to, in a particular report. In doing so you can break pages specifying a maximum of two items per page break report parameter. You can also define more than one page break per report by mapping the page break report parameter to a different standard each time.

Prerequisites

A parameter must be defined in Report Configuration/Parameters. 

System Effects
