NAV 2013 - Repeat header on each page doesn't work

Hello everyone,

I'm facing a strange problem,

In RTC reports in NAV 2009 R2 the check box "repeat header on each page" was working great, but in NAV 2013, this isn't working at all or may be it has to be used in an different way ?

Here is a example :



This report has 2 options : only a half of the rows is displayed in each case, so except for the total row which is displayed at the end, no row is displayed on each page for the 2 options, and I have to put the red row which contains the ReportItems for the header of the report somewhere it can be repeated on each page for the 2 options.
I put that row in a table header but that header isn't repeated even with the repeat on each page box checked in the table properties.

So I'm stuck. I thought of a list which will contain the red row in a separated table but this report hasn't got a regroup No. such as Sales Header No. or Line No.
The Entry No. row isn't usable because in one case it is not displayed, and if a row is hidden the red items in it will not work ...

I think it's because without a list the report doesn't see any new page, just a long table that spread over several pages, but in that case why a useless "repeat header on each page" check box ?

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance !

    Did you upgrade this report from NAV 2009 and then it stopped working in NAV 2013? If yes we should report this as a bug, reports should be upgraded 100% or Microsoft need to compile a list of what is not upgraded correctly.
    Currently only the hidden SetData issue is on that list.

    It was upgraded from 2009 R2 but the base report had no layout.

    The point here is less an upgrade bug than an obscure functionality, because this check box doesn't seem to change anything and the way to do a repeat header on each page is hidden in some advanced mode that is difficult to find.

    Referring to Christo Olivier's Blog :
    It seems that it is some really bad user interface design from Microsoft's side. They plan on fixing this in a future release.
    I hope they really plan to improve this functionality, because it is annoying :| .

    Regards.

    Yes agree, this feature is very well hidden.
