column break versus page break ssrs

Question

I'm trying to write a report that reports based on the time of day (shift) and the day itself. I'm using three columns in the report, which I set in the reports properties without issue.

The issue that I am encountering is that after every day, and every shift, I must start a new page. So I put in a page break after each event, but all that I get is a column break.

How can this be circumvented to get an actual page break and not a column break? Why would they make it a column break to begin with?

I am using Visual Studio 2008.

Thanks!

You should look into using the Lists container in SSRS, it allows you to easily group by fields of your choice and then break in between each group. It is a common choice for reports that require one page per group, with data presented for each group. Inside your list container you'll be able to add a matrix or table to represent your data, in addition to any text boxes or other objects you need displayed on a per group basis. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd239330.aspx
