Ignition report will not show second page

I have this report. I'm using a large table over the whole page with a header. Inside the details of the table I've got a table group. Group 1 is always the same size and group 2 has a variable size based on how many rows it contains, so group 3 will flex up or down depending on results. This report looks great and is exactly what we need, as long as it stays on the same page, and there is usually plenty of room on the page.

However, if there are a large number of chemicals (group 2 rows) or materials (group 3 rows), there exists the possibility for group 3 to get pushed off the bottom of the page. But the problem is... no second page ever appears. I have tried everything I could find in the documentation and these forums and nothing will make the second page show up. In testing, I tried making the overall table larger, and it appears that Ignition is still attempting to render everything on the first page, with group 3 just showing up off of the page. But... I need to be able to print this. I need that second page.

This is on both Ignition 8.1.53 and 8.3.3, by the way.

Excuse the simplicity of the question, but are you testing by looking at the 'Preview' tab in the report configuration tool in the Designer or have you actually exported a full report that should have multiple pages and observed it to be missing information? The preview tab often cuts off results with seemingly arbitrary limits (I would suppose it depends on datasource/information density in some way). I had the same thing happen last time I worked with reports -- preview was always truncated, but complete multi-page reports were as expected in the exported file.

Both. I've run it locally in Preview on a test system with trial licensing. I've also exported it to a full licensed system and run the report within a page in Ignition. Same issue persists in both settings.

I can't test right now but I'm pretty sure I've seen this paginate property in tables.

Overflow Behavior How text that overflows the bounds of the shape should be handled.
  • Paginate - text is pushed to the next page if the number of characters exceed the shape.
  • Shrink text to fit - text fits into the shape when expanded, and the font is smaller when previewed or printed.
