Insert Page Numbers in a Report

You can insert page numbers in a report and specify the number style to use.

You can select a predefined page numbering scheme or create a custom scheme. You can easily insert page numbers using the Page Number object.

You can also manually create an expression to insert page numbers by inserting a layout calculation and using the different page report functions in the expression editor.

Procedure

From the Toolbox tab , drag Page Number to the report.
Tip: When you create a new report using one of the existing report layouts, Page Number is already inserted in the page footer.
Right-click the page number symbol and click Edit Number Style.
Choose the style to use.
The first three choices apply only to vertical page numbers. The remaining choices specify how vertical and horizontal page values appear.

Note: The 1 of 3 number style works only for reports produced in PDF or non-interactive HTML format. In HTML format, the 1 of 3 number style works when viewing saved report outputs, as the entire report appears in a single HTML page.
If you want to customize the choice that you made in the previous step, click the edit button , make your changes, and click OK.
A custom number style is created. If you later choose a different number style, the custom style is removed from the list.

Tip: In the Custom Number Style dialog box, when you pause the pointer over a box, a tooltip describes how that box affects page numbers. For example, the Separator Text box contains the text, such as a hyphen, that separates page values for both vertical and horizontal pages.
