SSRS 2008R2 optional page breaks for tablix that has 5 row groups on the tablix

Question

I am trying to use an existing page break parameter in a new tablix that I added to an exisitng ssrs 2008 r2 report. I am trying the solution at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15513313/conditional-page-breaks-at-group-level-in-ssrs2008-r2-reports/ so I can use the disabled property of the page break option on on the new tablix by using a parameter value that is 'text' and the parameter values are either True or False.

The new tablix that I am using has 5 level of row groups.

The problem is I do not see a 'group' property where I can set the control group name.

When I do set the pagebreak of the tablix I am working with to the following, =IIF(Parameters!PageBreak.Value="True",false,true), and run the page break parameter to true, I do get the page breaks. However when I set the page break parameter to false, all I see is information for one control group. I am basically missing all the informatiuon I need.

How do I solve this problem?

Answer 1

Click on the horzontal bars under the Row Groups. If you click for example on [StudentFullName your property pane on the right side changes to the group properties (Properties: Tablix Member). There you navigate to Group > Group > PageBreak > Disabled. Now put your expression in the Disabled property. Just follow the steps from the other post and you are done.

UPDATE

If you want a page break before each new item of a group right click on your group properties (in your case for example right click on [StudentFullName) then go to the tab page breaks and check the Between each instance of a group box.
