SoftBreak
A SoftBreak in a page controls an exact position where a report's Detail section can be split. If the Detail section reaches a point where a split should occur, it considers the SoftBreak control's location as a split point. A SoftBreak is only considered when the Detail section’s autoSplit property is set to false.
Refer to SoftBreak layout element for a GitHub example. Also refer to the SoftBreak and NoSplitZone example for an illustration of how to use this element.
Add a SoftBreak to a report's details by right clicking anywhere in the Detail section, and selecting Add Soft Break from the context menu.
Figure 1. Add a SoftBreak to a report by selecting Add Soft Break.
Remember, the Detail section's autoSplit property must be set to false for a Soft Break to have any effect.
For example, adding a SoftBreak to Detail1 asks Designer (not tells - contrast this to the PageBreak control) to insert a page break at the specified location.
