Viewing a report in continues mode

[Tursunkhuja]

I am using HTML5 report viewer. 

When viewing a report, I want to see one continuous report because I do not need to see page headers, footers, or pages. But, when I go to print preview mode, it should be normal or it should look like paged mode. Can someone help me for my requirement?

Hi Tursunhuja,

Continuous scrolling can be enabled by setting the pageMode initialization variable to CONTINUOUS_SCROLL. See the Why You Should Move to Continuous Scrolling Now blog post for more information. Additionally, setting the viewMode initialization variable to INTERACTIVE will render the report as a Logical Page and remove strict paging restrictions found in Physical Page rendering.

For additional reference, see the Understanding Rendering Behaviors and Interactive vs Print Preview documentation for more details.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you for using the Telerik Reporting Forums.

Setting the pageMode initialization variable to CONTINUOUS_SCROLL we can enable continuous scrolling, but it is still paged report. So, the report is spitted into several pages. My question is how to show report in one page?

Hi Tursunhuja,

Unfortunately, this could be the result of several configurations and without seeing the report and report viewer it is difficult to pinpoint this issue. In order to troubleshoot this completely, I will need to review the report. Are you able to attach the report to this thread? I

Note that if privacy is a concern, I can convert this ticket to a support ticket and all communication can be handled in a private thread. Let me know if you would like me to move forward with that.

In the meantime, please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you and I look forward to your reply.

Hi Eric,

The question is as following: How can I set the report configurations, so that when I open report in interactive mode, it doesn't have any page breaks and everything is loaded already. But when I open it in print preview, of course, I want to have it paged.

I am aware of KeepTogether behavior property of Report Items separately. Is there any KeepTogether property for entire report?

 

Thank you,

I discussed this with Tursunhuja. Our goal is to have a report that does not have multiple pages in interactive mode. When we changed the outermost group (This group only occurs once for the report) to GroupKeepTogether=All, then it shows one long page. Otherwise it always displays with pages.

It appears to us that interactive mode still creates multiple pages unless you explicitly create an outer group and set GroupKeepTogether=All.  This seems strange because we thought interactive mode tries to show as one page. If there is only one page, then why wouldn't GroupKeepTogether be ignored? 

We now have a way to deal with this so if this is by design, I understand. Otherwise, it would be nice to not worry about adding an outer group like this.

Hi everyone,

I am glad to hear that this has worked itself out. Although, without reviewing and testing the actual report design it is difficult to understand the desired behavior. From my understanding, this is by design as seen in the Paging and Keep Together documentation.

Lastly, if it works using the current configuration then I would recommend going forward with that. 

Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thank you.
