Overview of Creating a Header and a Footer for a Report Section

You can use headers and footers to include corporate standards, such as logos and text that indicates confidentiality, in your reports. As a global preference, you can choose an image and static text to appear in every section of all new reports that you create.
You can also override the global settings for individual report sections. Additional header and footer features that are available for individual sections include the following:
  • dynamic text, such as prompt values or the date that the report was last refreshed
  • dividing lines
  • the ability to change the font, font size, font style, background color, foreground color, and paragraph alignment
This chapter discusses how to create a header and a footer for an individual report section in Edit mode.
