Description

New Content Item Begins

Specifies the rules that determine when to close the current output file and start a new one, based on the input report. The breakpoint is a specified location (line number, start position, end position) within each page-header in the input report. The actual characters that appear in this location, that is, the contents of the breakpoint, may change between pages of the input report. Options for specifying are:·

  • Never: results in a single content item for the published report (that is, no breakpoints)

  • When Breakpoint Matches First Content Item: starts a new output file, that is, content item, when the contents of the breakpoint match the contents of the first breakpoint from the input report.

  • When Breakpoint Matches Fixed Value: starts a new output file when the contents of the breakpoint matches the value specified in the Breakpoint Fixed Value field on the Content Item Breaks screen.

  • When Breakpoint Differs From Previous Page: starts a new output file when the contents of the breakpoint are different from those of the breakpoint on the previous page of the input report.

Location of Breakpoint

The specific position of the breakpoint within the page-headers of the input report.

Maximum Number of Content Items

The maximum number of content items that may be generated while parsing a single input report. Select "Unlimited" to impose no limit.
