How to repeat group header on each page in Crystal Reports

By | January 31, 2022

In Sage X3, we had developed one custom report for our client where the detail section continues to the next page of the report but the heading/captions did not get printed on each page as captions were placed on the group header section (please refer below screen shot). One would think that placing the captions in ‘Page header’ would solve the problem but this solution would not solve the problem with many reports. So we will see in this blog, how we can overcome such a situation.
