I’m sure there is a simple answer but I haven’t found it yet.

I have a static dataset.

I have a single page with a table near the bottom of the report.

Preview mode shows page 1 of 2 here:

and page 2 of 2 here:

What I would like to happen is the second half of the table that appears on page 2 shows up at the top of the page 2 and the text “FRONT PAGE” only shows on the actual first page of the report.

Not quite sure of the steps to do this - I tried several things with tablegroups but haven’t stumbled upon the answer.

I appreciate any guidance / help here.

Perhaps there is a reason I am missing, but can't you add another page and have it be your front cover? 🤔 That is a fairly common practice, you can add a new page using the top menu bar.

I took out a lot of details from my actual assignment which is re-creating an existing report that gets run on another system. There is some information on the first page that takes up 3/4 the page or so and then the table is started and finishes on page 2 of the report usually (it is a dynamically sized table).

Yes, I could move the entire table to its own page but figured I’d confirm if I was missing something or not.

1. Make the table the full size of the page.
2. Add a 'Header' row to the table, and make it "unstructured".
3. Add your `FRONT PAGE` content into that header, and ensure the header is _not_ set to "Reprint when wrapped".

Edit - This might work... going to try it now.
