Add a Page to a Report

Reports may contain pages with a variety of content. Pages may be added to create a multiple-page report. For example, you are creating a sales report and you want to include general information about the company. You decide to create an introduction page to show this information. When you run the report, page 1 of the report is the introduction page and the following pages contain data.

Tip: The TOC Report sample report in the GO Data Warehouse (query) package includes multiple pages. For more information about The Great Outdoors Company samples, see Sample Reports and Packages.

You can also create page sets to control the rendering of pages in a report.
