Hi there. I use standalone Telerik Reporting for Win Forms(R3 2023). I have several reports that use Tables to display data. These Tables have row grouping.
The problem I'm experiencing is that, for groups that span multiple pages, I cannot figure out how to have the row group repeat at the top of successive pages. So what I'm left with are completely empty columns for the Row Group cells on the second, third, etc. pages of the group.
Is there a way to have Table Row Group column values appear at the top of each page within a standalone report(with no additional assemblies)?
Thanks.

Hello James,
Thank you for the screenshot.
Something similar to what you described can be achieved if you remove the table (the table item does not provide the required functionality out of the box) and change the layout of the report. For example, if you use report groups and their respective sections instead of a table, you can get something like the image below.
Indeed, this is not perfect as there will be some blank space at each group header but I hope it works for you. For reference, I am attaching a sample report to this message.

Thank you for the response. Okay, that's what I figured. Are there any plans on adding this functionality to the built-in Table item?
Is there a way to add this functionality to Table items in general through custom extensions?
Hi James,
There is indeed a feature request about this functionality in our Public Feedback Portal - Table Group Headers only display once. You can vote for it to both increase its priority and subscribe to receive notifications about future status updates.
That said, I cannot come up with a reliable way to utilize Custom User Functions to display the table's row header on each page as user functions are not processed during the paging stage and I do not think we can use them as a workaround.
Does the alternative I suggested earlier work for you? Yes, it requires significant changes to the report's layout but perhaps you can create a separate report for this purpose and use it through a SubReport Item, replacing the existing table.

Okay, good to know about the Public Request.
Yes, I can make the reports work with your alternative. Thank you for your time.
