I have a report where I display the data in 2 columns, side by side.
In the group section I said to do a pagebreak when the group item changes.
However, the instead of going to the next page, it goes to the next column.
Therefore I tried to give a page break before and after the group. But it didn't help either.
Any idea on how to fix this bug?
Thanks.

Hi,
If the report is divided into more than one column, each physical page is divided vertically into columns, each of which is considered a logical page. For example, suppose you have two columns on a physical page. The content of your report fills the first column and then the second column. If the report does not fit entirely within the first two columns, the report fills the first column and then the second column on the next page. Columns continue to be filled, from left to right, top to bottom until all report items are rendered.
That's why having a page break (before/after) on a report section would cause the section to move to the next column (logical page) and not to the next physical page (if there is enough space on the current page).
In case you want the section to go to the next physical page you should stick to the single column report layout.

I too, have the same issue with not being able to create a physical page break on a multi-column report. My report is similar to the report in the 'Product Tags' Demo (http://demos.telerik.com/reporting/product-tags/demo.aspx).
What method would you suggest I use if I want a report that has the same look and feel of the Product Tags report that allows for those items to be grouped and have a physical page break based on the department in which those items are sold? In my case I need to display pictures of all my company's employees on one report and have physical page breaks based on their departments.
Thank you,
Cheri

Hello Cheri,
As my colleague has explained, there is no way to force a physical page break in multi-column layout. Our suggestion would be to generate multiple reports fed only with a single department data.
