I have a report with two groups 'Region' and 'Department', I can't seem to
get it to page break on region and I don't understand what Always, Avoid,
Left, Right, and Inherit mean in the 'Page Break' properties.

The choices for page break come from CSS properties: page-break-before,
page-break-after and page-break-inside. The five values, auto means
"Neither force nor forbid page break", always means "always force a page
break", avoid means "avoid a page break", left means "force one or two
page breaks so that the new page starts on a left page", and right means
"force one or two page breaks so that the new page starts on a right page".

BIRT currently support these properties only for section level items, but
not groups. As a result, you may not be able to force a page break after
each group at this moment.

Thanks for the help.

I can force a page break after a group by putting a 1x1 grid into the group
footer and setting the page break for 'After' to 'Always'
