Inserting Page Headers and Footers

Page headers and footers are treated as normal report areas enabling full customizing of the contents, including the introduction of other report elements (Pivots, Charts), text labels and computed fields. Typically, Page headers and footers enable you to specify data that is repeated on every page, such as a page number.

  To insert a page header or page footer:

  1. Select Report, then Section Boundaries to view the bands for the report components.

  2. Select Report, then Headers and Footers, then Option.

    You can view a page header, a page footer, or both.

    • To insert a page header, select Page Header.

    • To insert a page footer, select Page Footer.

    • To insert both page headers and page footers, select Show Both.

  3. Type the information to be displayed in the report header or footer, or drag objects from Elements to the Page Header or Page Footer band.

    The selected item automatically populates the report header or footer. Review the following table for information on how to insert items into the Page Header or Page Footer band.

    Tip:

    You can hide the page header on the first page of a report and show it for the rest of the pages in your report by typing the following code in the “Expression Line” for the page header object:

    if (PageNm == 1)
{' '}
else
{“Query Processed: “+Format(newDate(), “d-mmm-yyyy”)};
