Procedure: How to Set Up an HTML Report With On Demand Paging

You can paginate HTML reports using On Demand Paging, a feature that causes the web server to send an HTML report to your browser one page at a time. On Demand Paging is available for HTML Web Document (HTML) and HTML Table (HTMTABLE) Styled report formats.

This feature requires that the report be run remotely against the WebFOCUS Reporting Server.

When this feature is in effect, your browser displays a Viewer Control Panel that enables you to navigate to the next or previous page, all pages, or to a specific page.

Click Format from the Report menu.
The Report Options dialog box opens.
Ensure that HTML Web Document (HTML) or HTML Table (HTMTABLE) is selected as the Output Format, then select the On Demand Paging check box on the Features tab.

When you run the report, it appears in your browser along with the Viewer Control Panel. For details, see Navigating Through Multi-page Web Reports, located in the Creating Reporting Applications With Developer Studio manual.
