Creating reports and dashboards | Stimulsoft community forum

Hello,
I need advice on how to achieve something similar to Word’s “Keep with next” in Stimulsoft Reports - WEB.

I have a report structure like this:
DataBand1: contains the table header
DataBand2: contains detail data (repeating rows from a datasource loop)

I need to ensure that DataBand1 (table header) is never printed at the bottom of a page without at least one row from DataBand2 following it. In other words, if the header fits at the end of a page but there isn’t enough space for at least one detail row, both should move to the next page.

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

Try to use the KeepDetails property for the detail band.

Thank you.

Hello,
Thank you for the suggestion.

Unfortunately, KeepDetails does not solve my issue. The problem is that the table header band can still be rendered at the bottom of a page without any detail rows following it.

I know that normally, the report template is stored in an .mrt file. However, in our solution the template is embedded inside a larger XML structure together with additional data sources and supporting configuration.
To make the issue reproducible while avoiding unrelated implementation details, I extracted only the <Data> element that contains the report definition and removed our custom additions.

Please let me know if this format is sufficient for your investigation.
Thank you.

Hello,

We require more time to investigate the issue thoroughly. Rest assured, we will keep you informed about the outcome as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Hello,
Thank you for the update. I appreciate you taking the time to investigate this issue.

In the meantime, I have tried a few alternative approaches:
First, I moved both the table header and detail data into a single DataBand and configured the header to be displayed only for the first row. However, while this displays the header correctly, I was unable to eliminate the empty space that remains when the header is not rendered.
I also experimented with placing the header in the DataBand and rendering the detail rows through a Sub-Report, but unfortunately this approach did not solve the problem either.

Thank you.

Hello,

In this case, you need to set the MasterComponent=DataBand1 for the detail band and set KeepDetails=Keep First Detail Together

Thank you.
