Adding BI Fields to RTF File Header or Footer

Microsoft Word does not support form fields in the header and footer. As a result, you need to populate the headers and footers with text or images from Unifier. Refer to the BI Publisher Report Designer's Guide for more details.

To populate the headers and footers with text or images, follow these steps:

  1. At the top of the RTF template (in the body, not the header), place the following tags:

    <?template:header?>

    <?end header?>

  2. These tags form the start and end of your header. In between them, place the text and images you want to include in the report header.
  3. Double-click into the header of the document. Ensure that none of the BI Publisher fields are highlighted.
  4. Add the text: <? call@:header?> to place everything in the tags added above into the header at report runtime.
