Editing Header or Footer Text

Use the Header page (QRY_HEADER) or the Footer page (QRY_FOOTER) to include a descriptive text in the header or footer area respectively on the Query HTML result page. These texts are used by query owners to provide additional information about the query that is run.

Query owners can include just one header and footer text in each query. The Header and Footer links open a page to set the query title text.
