Set up Title Page, Header, Footer, and Summary Page
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 Add.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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).

- 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.
- Use the Vertical Alignment, Font Size, and text style fields to edit the content.
- 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 check box will display a four-sided border around the title page, header, footer, or summary page text.
