If you are looking to have sections start on a different page of your PDF report, you have a few options! You can have all sections start on new pages, or you can have certain sections start on new pages.

Turning On/Off Page Breaks for All Sections

Within each template, you can choose to automatically have a page break between each section for the PDF report. The page breaks will allow each section to start on a new page. This section will show you step-by-step how to turn page breaks on or off within your template.

  1. Click "Templates"

  2. Click "My Templates"

  3. Select your template from the dropdown menu

  4. Click the 3 dots on the right

  5. Click "Template Settings"

  6. Click "Display Options"

  7. Check the box "Page break sections" to have page breaks between each section

  8. Uncheck the box "Page break sections" to not have page breaks between each section

  9. Click "Save"

Page breaks between sections can make your final PDF report look more smooth, concise, and easy to follow for your clients and agents.


Turning On Page Breaks for Certain Sections in a Template

If you are looking to have certain sections start on a different page of your PDF and have certain sections not, you have that option! This section will show you how to turn page breaks on for certain sections.

To set this up, first, follow the steps above to turn page breaks off in your template.

This will disable page breaks for all sections and allow you to select the ones you would like the pages broken versus defaulting to all.

Next, follow these steps:

  1. Click "Templates"

  2. Click "My Templates"

  3. Select your template from the dropdown menu

  4. Click the 3 dots on the right

  5. Click the โœ๏ธ icon next to the section name

  6. Check the box "Always page break for this section (PDF)"

  7. Click "Save"

Once this is done all newly built reports from the template will have that section with page breaks!
