Add a Header or Footer to a Report

Use the Report Editor to add a header or footer to each page of your report. You can add up to three headers or footers to a report. Headers and footers must include either text or a company logo or image. You can also insert variables representing certain data that you want displayed on the report, such as the page number or the date and time. During report generation, the variables are populated and displayed on the report.

Notes:

To add a company logo to the report header or footer, you must have a company logo uploaded to the application.
Headers and footers only appear on PDF and RTF reports that are generated using the Primavera Cloud layout.
