Understanding Header and Footer Sections
Header and footer sections are special-purpose sections that contain constant, variable, and runtime fields. They typically contain information regarding the content of the report, the intended audience, or disclaimers.
Because header and footer sections typically provide commentary or system-related information rather than data from tables, they are not associated with business views.
When you create a new report template, you are presented with header and footer section options on the welcome form of the Director. You can also add these sections to report templates from the Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Report Design Aid (RDA) menu.
When you add header and footer sections to a report template from within RDA, they are added to the bottom of the RDA workspace. However, when you print the report, the sections print in the appropriate order. The properties and format of report headers and footers and of page headers and footers are similar to group sections.
