Organize the layout of rows and pages in your report using the Insert page break above, Insert row above, Insert row below, and Delete this row buttons.
Note:
Report elements added to the same row appear side-by-side in the order you added the elements to the template. This allows you to display multiple charts on the same line. If you want to display multiple charts on different lines within the same page, insert new rows but do not insert a page break.
