Prevent page break within tablesection

0 Kudos

Hello,

In short: How can I prevent page breaks within tablesections?

My table consists of a header line, a tablesection containing 3 data lines, and a footer line.

The hierarchy looks like this:

  • table
    • header
    • section
      • data1
      • data2
      • data3
    • footer

My problem is, that page breaks need to be allowed for the table, but I do not want to allow them for the section (= all data lines have to stay together).

As a matter of fact, tablesections do not have the "Allow page breaks within content"-checkbox, which tables and rows have (in pallette Object->Table/Section/Row). And I did not find any corresponding option in the editor yet.

(FYI: I am running on NW7.0 EhP1 and LifeCylce Designer 9.0)

I would appreciate tips on this issue, as googling did not return any results as of now either...

Kind Regards,

Robert

Hi Robert,

I guess you created the table using the standard.

Do you want to try the method to create table using subform, and for "Bodyrow" subform, please enable "Allow Page Breaks within Content" under object palettes > subform tab

Hope this helps.

Hello Xiang,

thank you very much for the advice!

But to be honest:
I would rather not recreate the table without any automatic conversion, as this would take quite some time - which is in short supply, as always.

Is this really the only way to prevent those page breaks?

Ain't there any other way, even if it means adding code in the XML-code of the table section?

Regards,

Robert
