Modifying Page Number Properties
By default, Report page numbering is added to the bottom of each new Report.
The default format is to show the current page number and total number of pages, with pagination starting at the first page of the Report (Page 1 of n). This is shown as Page {0} of {1}.
You can modify the page numbering properties as needed for your Report. For example, you can:
- Change the information you include in the Page Number area.
- Change the start page number.
- Modify page number format.

- In the Report Manager, right-click a Report, and then select Design Report.
- Select the Page Number box at the bottom of the Report, and then click the smart tag at the top of the box.
