Page numbers appear as question marks in HTML- sample report to work around issue.

Troubleshooting


Problem

Clicking on the page down link in an HTML report results in page numbers of the form "1 of ?". In other formats, this issue does not occur. The reason for this is that reports run in HTML format are page on demand meaning that we pull back just enough data to display on the requested page. When the page-down link is clicked, we pull back data for the next page and so forth. Therefore, we do not know the total number of pages in the report. If the report consists of a list with the left most item grouped and all rows for each element of the grouped item are to appear on a single page, there is a work around to this issue. This document contains a sample report where this is done and steps on how to create this report.
