I have a sub report with a tablix following it.
The subreport has conditional visibility, so it may be hidden, but I need it to be on a separate page from the tablix when it does appear.
I have tried adding a page break to the start of the tablix but this page break always appears.
Is there a way to make the page break conditional? I cannot see anywhere to add an expression to do so.
Thanks
After much fiddling with settings and other options, I decided insert a rectangle between the sub report and tablix.
The rectangle has a millimetre height and is conditionally hidden along with the sub report.
The rectangle allows for a PageBreak property; so when it is visible there appears a pagebreak - as requirqd.
Sideways approach but it works.

When Textfield Text is too big and does not fit all the content on the page, it is automatically moved to the next page, can anyone help?
The result is the following:
The structure of the report is as follows:

The expected result would be to completely fill the first page, and then break to next.
You can manage your detail band selecting it and change the property Split type as the following image:
The meanings of three options:
STRETCH:
The band is allowed to split, but never within its declared height. This means the band splits only when its content stretches.
PREVENT:
Prevents the band from splitting on first break attempt. On subsequent pages/columns, the band is allowed to split, to avoid infinite loops.
IMMEDIATE:
The band is allowed to split anywhere, as early as needed, but not before at least one element being printed on the current page/column.

I would desperately need some help to achieve the following:
Create a master-report.jrxml, which includes a table of content and the corresponding sub-reports
These sub-reports all contain a different chart with different data query, which can be bigger than one page
Every page which includes a sub-report must show some static frame with dynamic content like the current sub-report's name and page X of Y
My approach so far was, to create a sub-report.jrxml for each of my required charts (I put chart in the sub-report's summary band). Then I created a MasterReport.jrxml with my static frame which included the sub-reports in the summary band. I expected/hoped that JasperReport would render a the according sub-report after each other, but it just overdraws on the same page.
How can I configure my report, to display the sub-reports after each other on new pages?
Any help with this, would be highly appreciated.
Try with subReports in a detail band and subRepport element has "Run to bottom" property which, if set to true, will make subReport take the whole page and push next item on a new page. There is also a page break element in JasperReports if "Run to bottom" doesn't work for you . For static content on each page use page header/footer bands.
I have a report that has two headers. On the top one I have a subreport on the right side, that shows the report's main data. On the header below, I have two subreports. The one on the left has tabular information while the one on the right has more form-type info. This last subreport is set to match the upper header report width and position on the page.
Now, the top header is set as UnderlayNext = true, so it gets printed side by side with the tabular report. All is well except when the footer section of the subreport on the left does not fit on the page it is supposed to be printed and is moved to the next page. When that happens, the upper header section only gets partially printed, with the same height as the footer section of the other report.
EDIT: Rethinking (but not retesting) I think that what's going on is that the section set to underlay next does not go beyond the next section, thus when the section is not large enough, it gets cropped. In my case, the second section is larger than the UnderlayNext (top) one, but as I have a new page and the top section is set to repeat on every page, it gets cropped too. Funny thing is that if I select the data on the generated PDF, the information IS there, just not visible.
It would be suggested to set the KeepTogether property to "True" and the GroupKeepTogether property to "All" of the GroupHeader.

What I finally did was to add an empty group footer section with size zero at the bottom of the report and set PrintAtBottom to true.
I have a question about how border should display in detail band, and I would like to get some help.
Say, a column in detail band that might have LOTS data, by lots, I meant sometimes a single record might actually took 2~3 page to display.
Now customer ask that we should make report always display bottom line of the border as long as it meets end of page (even this record its not end yet)
What I tried:
Make a column footer with 1px height line.
Set "Floating column footer" to TRUE.
Result : It works great, but this line will make extra empty space at end of the table if there is a Summary band after the column footer. I think I am close, but I just can't get rid of the strange empty space
Make a Frame with border, set "Print when detail overflow" to TRUE then put everything in detail band into this frame.
Result : Not work as I expected :(
Since this report contains not just a table in detail band, and the height of the table are random. Tricks like a border in Background or Page Footer are not suitable here
What else can I do ?
There is a PrintWhenExpression trick that can help with the page footer:
How to hide Page X / Y when report is 1 page ? - JasperForge Forum
The trick is to put a flag in the Report Parameter Map, then use the flag to decide whether text (or fields, lines, etc.) should be printed.
To use a line in Page Footer there will always be some pages with extra line. In this case, the report is always starting from page 1, and the table in the report always end before printing the Summary band. That means, the line is no longer necessary as long as Summary band has been reached. Thus:
Add a line in Page Footer with PrintWhenExpression :
new Boolean(!(Boolean.TRUE).equals($P{REPORT_PARAMETERS_MAP}.get("stopFlag")))
Then make a dummy textField in Summary band with PrintWhenExpression like this :
$P{REPORT_PARAMETERS_MAP}.put("stopFlag",Boolean.TRUE)
This trick works, but might need some tweaking for different layouts.
The option given by Dave is right.
If you care about the space still being used, then set the band and textfield heights to zero.
In my case using Dave's option worked (and I needed no extra space to be used).
I put this as PrintWhenExpression in the fields I just wanted to show in the last page:
$P{REPORT_PARAMETERS_MAP}.get("lastPage")!=null
And this as PrintWhenExpression in a 0-height textfield in the 0-heigth summary band:
$P{REPORT_PARAMETERS_MAP}.put("lastPage",":)")
When it comes to page termination the options are limited. Its made even hard because if you have items that do not display when null it still assumes that space is used.
I would stick with messing around with the column footer or page footer as your best options.
I have a report in SSRS that contains 12 subreports. After each subreport, I need to insert a page break so that each subreport starts on a new page and doesn't share pages with the other subreports. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks
I found an answer. Use a Rectangle at the bottom of each SubReport after all Tablixes and other rendering Objects. Then set its "PageBreak" property to "End". When the SubReport is finished with the Tablix and/or other data objects, the Rectangle forces a page break. Also, a cool feature, if the SubReport returns no rows of data, the page break is not rendered. Therefore, no extra page breaks
Another solution would be to have the subreports placed inside the rectangles. I would imagine this would help you to better control and organize the layout of the report.
I tried the other answer here but my master report is driven by a dataset so didn't quite work out. This is how I got it to work for me:
1) I put the subreports into different rows on top of same size rectangles inside a Tablix with all the rows belonging to the same row group.
2) I then selected properties of the group, then pagebreak and checked the property pagebreak on between each instance of group.
Just use the "Add page break after" on the General tab of Tablix Properties.
I came across the same kind of issue but I was able to overcome by below mentioned way.
I created a sub report and placed rectangle inside the sub report (page break option checked before) and placed all my sub report content inside the rectangle. This page break works only if the sub report renders any data if not they will be no page break.
I have made Many reports with a front Page Summary and Page 2 with the Detail.
Use the Tablix for the Page Break
Tablix > Properties > PageBreak > BreakLocation > Start / End / ......
Like other answers mention, I used the "Page break before" option on rectangles/tables, but for some reason it would only break the page if it wasn't at the very top of the (sub)report
