SSRS Report seems to be adding "Keep Together" properties

Running Kinetic 2023.2 on premise.

I’ve got a custom app using UD100/UD100A. I’m trying to print a form that will sometimes (often) go past a full page. It’s got a Grouping on UD100.Key1, so the detail part of the form is the UD100A data. So, I’ve got the one detail section, and I’ve got group headers and group footers.

I’ve got multiple sections in the header and footer sectoins. I right clicked on my header section, clicked Insert Row → Inside Group-Above to get all these rows. So, my tablix has the group header with like 6 sections, the details section, and then the group footer with another dozen sections. I realize that I could have put all this data into one section rather than breaking out into sections, but I’m pretty sure users are going to want to adjust the visibility on many of these sections, and will be much easier to do having multiple tablix header and footer rows.

The problem: when I print the form and it goes more than a page, rather than filling up page 1 and then rolling over the rest of the data to page 2, I actually have a 4 page report. It prints the first header section on page 1, the second header on page 2, the third on page 3, then it prints everything else on page 4. Page 4 is filled up. So, it’s as if at run-time, it tries to print the first header and realizes it’s not going to get everything on that page, so it paginates.

I clicked the Column Groups → Advanced Properties, and all the Row Group sections (listed as Static) show “KeepTogether” as false. I tried changing all of them to true, and that made no difference.

Anybody run into this?

Have you looked at the Keep WIth settings in the Advanced Properties for the groups?

That was it. Thanks.

I had to go into the Advanced Settings, click on each of the Static sections, and change the Keep With Group to NONE. Works like a charm!
