I. Overview
1) After inserting data columns into cells and setting expansion, the expanded data may exceed the page size. In pagination preview mode, FineReport will split the data beyond the page size to the next page, but this will cause the same group of data to be displayed on different pages. Even if the data column does not exceed the page size, it will exceed the browser window size when previewing, so users cannot view the data intuitively.
2) Through pagination settings, each page can only display the same set of data, making the data display more beautiful. Pagination settings can control the location of pagination, break and pagination repetition.
3) Prerequisite:Horizontal and Vertical Cell Expansion and Left Parent Cell and Upper Parent Cell.
