Format report with multiple lists in Cognos 7 Report Studio

[vanessaehl]

I have a report page that has two lists. The data spans several pages when run. I want to show all of the records for the first list before showing any records for the second list. Right now it shows a few records for each list on each page of the report. I'm looking for a solution that doesn't include putting each list into its own report page.

I'm sure this is probably simple. Please forgive my ignorance, I'm definitely a newbie.

Have you try to put the second list under the first one in a table with two row?

Is it your real name or it's a name to provoke an answer hehehe .. cause it's a beautiful name ;-)

some particular reason you odn't want to use a second page? that would be hte simplest.

have you considered using a repeater? would have to poke around to see if it usable in this scenario..

but, that is just the way it fucntions.. it renders a little bit of everythign on each page. the most appropriate thing to use is a new page...

I like the idea of using a table. I'll have to try that. I'm off work today, so it'll have to wait until tomorrow.

As for why I don't want to use pages ... I'm concerned that the user will think they've come to the end of their data prematurely because you have to page down to get to the next page even if there are only a few records in the current page. I think it looks misleading.

I tried a repeater, but that didn't work out for what I'm doing.

Thanks for all the advice. I'll let you know how it turns out.

I tried the table idea, but it behaved the same as if there were no tables. It's been decided to go with the page approach - but they can't make me like it!
