Specify the export format for which you want to customize the page properties.

Page Layout

Server selects this option by default, so the output of the selected format applies pagination mode. Clear it if you want to apply continuous page mode to the output, meaning, display the output in a single page.

You can customize the following properties for the selected format when you do not clear Page Layout.

Auto

When Auto is selected, the page properties you defined for the report in the General tab of the dialog box will apply to the report output. Clear Auto if you want to customize the page properties for an export format.

When you clear Auto for an export format and select OK in the dialog box, Server adds an export page setting object for this format to the report structure tree in the Inspector panel. You can edit the export page properties there too. The page properties that you specify for any export format also apply when you advanced run and schedule to run the report in this format on Server.

Then, when you select Auto for this export format and select OK in the dialog box again, Server removes its export page setting object automatically from the report structure tree.
