The Report Headerand Report Footerare the only types of report bands rendered once per report.
- The Report Header is the first band of a report on the first page, not counting margins as they are "out-of-page" zones. The Report Header precedes even the Page Header band. It is the best place for the report's name, company logo, date of creation, author's name and miscellaneous information. If you plan to add a chart that visualizes the report's data, then drop the Chartcontrol onto this band.
- The Report Footer finalizes the informative part of the report. It is placed before the Page Footer and Bottom Margin bands on the report's last page. Use the Report Footer for report grand totals or conclusions.
In the Property Grid, the properties of these bands are divided into the following groups.
