 ## Description
 
-I need page numbering based on a specific group in Telerik Reporting. Instead of absolute page numbers, I want the numbering to reset within each group. For example, if there are two pages per group, the numbering should appear as "Page 1 of 2" and "Page 2 of 2" for the first group, then reset to "Page 1 of 2" for the next group. This numbering should reflect the pages within the group scope.

+I need page numbering based on a specific group using Standalone Designer. Instead of absolute page numbers, I want the numbering to reset within each group. For example, if there are two pages per group, the numbering should appear as "Page 1 of 2" and "Page 2 of 2" for the first group, then reset to "Page 1 of 2" for the next group. This numbering should reflect the pages within the group scope.
 
 ## Solution
 
 To implement group-specific page numbering, follow these steps:
 
 ### Using Built-in Page Functions
-1. Open the report in the Telerik Reporting Designer.
-2. Define a group for the desired field (e.g., `ResidentID`) at the report level if not already done. Ensure the grouping is applied directly on the report, not inside a list item.
-3. Add a TextBox to the page footer.
-4. Use the following expression to display page numbering within the group:
+1. Open the report in the Standalone Designer.
+1. Define a group for the desired field (e.g., `ResidentID`) at the report level if not already done.
+1. Add a TextBox to the page footer.
+1. Use the following expression to display page numbering within the group:
+
    ```
    ="Page " + PageNumber("residentGroup", Fields.ResidentID) + " of " + PageCount("residentGroup", Fields.ResidentID)
    ```
+
    - Replace `"residentGroup"` with your group's name.
    - Replace `Fields.ResidentID` with the key field of the group.
-5. Assign the data source directly to the report to ensure the group scope functions correctly.
-
-### Using a Custom Function
-If the built-in functions do not meet your requirements, you can create a custom user function:
-1. Create a static class with a method to track page numbers per group.
-2. For example:
-   ```csharp
-   public static class PageHelper
-   {
-       private static Dictionary<string, int> groupPageNumbers = new Dictionary<string, int>();
-
-       public static string MyPageNumber(string groupKey, int currentPage)
-       {
-           if (!groupPageNumbers.ContainsKey(groupKey))
-           {
-               groupPageNumbers[groupKey] = 1;
-           }
-           else
-           {
-               groupPageNumbers[groupKey]++;
-           }
-
-           return $"Page {groupPageNumbers[groupKey]}";
-       }
-   }
-   ```
-3. Register the custom assembly in the Telerik Reporting Designer.
-4. Use the custom function in the page footer, passing the group identifier and the current page number.
-
-### Adjusting the Report Layout
-Ensure that the group is defined at the report level rather than inside a list item. This allows page functions to work correctly within the intended group scope.
-
-### Sample Report
-Refer to the provided sample report for an implementation where the data source is directly assigned to the report, and the group is created at the report level.
