Configuring page numbers
A report that uses page-level security provides two options for displaying page numbers. The report can display page numbers sequentially in the order that they appear to a user. For example, if a user can view pages 1, 5, 6, and 8 of a report, the page numbers that the user sees are 1, 2, 3, and 4. Alternatively, the report can display the actual page numbers 1, 5, 6, and 8.
Similarly, for page number formats that include the total page count, such as 1 of 4, the total page count can be the number of pages visible to the user or the number of pages in the report.
How to configure page numbers
This procedure assumes that the report already contains page number elements.
1 Choose Master Page to view the page number elements.
Figure 20‑8 shows an example of a master page where the footer contains three elements to display page numbers in the format 1 of 10.

2 Right-click the Page Number element and choose Security.
3 In Security, shown in
Figure 20‑9, select a display option, then choose OK.
Select Visible Page Number to display numbers sequentially in the order that the pages appear to the user.
Select Actual Page Number to display the numbers as they appear in the entire report.

Figure 20‑8, use the instructions in the previous step to select a display option for the Total Page element.
