What is a Page Break element?

The Page Break element is a static element you can add to any view to control where content splits across pages. This is especially useful when your app generates printed reports or PDFs, and you need specific sections — like a signature block or a new record — to start on a fresh page.

By default, a Page Break element only affects printing and PDF generation. It stays invisible in your Live App unless you choose to display it.

Note: Page Break is a static element, meaning it doesn't display dynamic data from your tables. It's a layout tool, similar to a Spacer or Rich Text element.

Adding a Page Break Element

1. Open the page where you want to add the page break in the Builder.
2. Click the + icon in the section where you want the break to appear.
3. In the Add an Element panel, scroll to Static Elements.
4. Select Page Break.

The element is added to your page as a Page Break block. By default, it appears as Page Break (Hidden) in the Builder, indicating it won't be visible in the Live App until you configure it.

Configuring Page Break Settings

Click the Page Break element to open its settings panel on the right.

Page Break Visibility

This setting controls whether the page break is visible to users in the Live App:

• Toggle off (default): The page break only applies during printing or PDF generation. Users won't see anything in the Live App.
• Toggle on: The page break element displays in the Live App in addition to affecting print and PDF output.

Tip: Keep the visibility toggle off for most use cases. Page breaks are primarily a print/PDF formatting tool, and showing them in the Live App can create unnecessary visual clutter for users browsing your app normally.

Internal Settings

• Element Label: An internal-only label used to identify this Page Break element within the Builder. This label won't appear in the Live App, but it does help you reference the element when configuring page rules and other settings elsewhere in your app.

Common Use Cases

• Printable reports: Force a new page before a summary or totals section.
• PDF generation: Ensure each record or entry starts cleanly on its own page.
