You can set up the report’s title page, header, footer, and summary page from the Layout tab. These are all set up in a similar way.
- The title page is printed as the first page of the report.
- The header is printed at the top of each of the results pages.
- The footer is printed at the bottom of each of the results pages.
- The summary page is printed at the end of the report, after the results.
To set up the title page, header, footer, and summary page
- In the Edit Report window, click the Layout tab.
- Under Report Properties, click Title Page, Header, Footer, or Summary Page.
- Click Content and select from the list. The drop-down options are the same for left, center, or right columns.
- Number of Projects/shells: Displays the number of projects or shells within the phrase "This report contains data from n projects or shells."
- Page: Shows the page number for each page of the report.
- Project/Shell List: Provides a list of all of the projects or shells from which data is used for the report, in the format Project/Shell Number: Project/Shell Name. Can be used for reports on one or multiple projects or shells.
- Project/Shell Name: Displays the project or shell name when the report is for a single report. If multiple projects or shells are included in the report, the names will not be displayed (use Project/Shell List instead).
- Project/Shell Number: Displays the project or shell number when the report is for a single report. If multiple projects or shells are included in the report, the numbers will not be displayed (use Project/Shell List instead).

- Report Run By: Displays the user who ran the report. If the report was generated by schedule, the name of the report owner will be displayed.

- Run Date: Displays the date on which the report was run. This date/time reflects server time, that is, the time zone in which the server running your Unifier environment is located; for most users, this will be Pacific Time (GMT -8).

- Time Zone: Displays the time zone that is applicable for the report, as chosen in the General tab of the Edit Report window (a default time zone or the user’s at runtime).
- Runtime Notes: Choosing this option does two things: provides a text box in which to enter notes that will appear on each report (for example, "Runtime Notes:"), and activates a Runtime Notes text box in the Notes tab during runtime in which the user running the report can add notes that will appear on the current report only.
- Text: Provides a text box in which you may enter text to be displayed on the report.
- Keep an eye on the fields in the bottom of the window:
- Current height (pixels): Displays the total height of the text (sum of the pixels of all lines) in the header, footer, title page, or summary page.
- Maximum available height: Total allowable height.
- Show Border: Selecting this checkbox will display a four-sided border around the title page, header, footer, or summary page text.
The following figures display the default layouts of the header, footer, and summary page options. These are customizable.
