This document explains how to use report sections.
What do you want to do?
By default, a report is made from several blocks. Please find below a description of each block from top to bottom:
Report Header: the Report Header (title) appears at the beginning of the first page of the report. You can define that the Report Header will only be on the first page, by setting a page break after the Report Header block. The Report Header block proposes a Title label field by default, which contains the Query name and another field with the formula =DateTime() whose target is to edit the current date and time when editing or printing the report. You can edit both the Title and the formula if necessary and replace the DateTime() function with the FormatDateTime('format',§X) if you need to customize the date time format.
Page Header: the Page Header appears at the top of each page. By default this block contains the heading text used in the query for each selected field. Each label can be modified if necessary.
Detail: the Detail portion of the report where the data is displayed. By default, this block contains the selected query field names, from left to right (Tabular mode) or from top to bottom (Column mode).
Page Footer: the Page Footer is printed at the bottom of each page. By default, this block proposes a field with the formula =Page('0')+'/'+Pages('0') whose target is to edit or print the current page number and the total page number.
Report Footer: the Report footer is printed at the bottom of the last page of the report. It is empty by default.
If you add one or several Group Levels by selecting View>Field Group (also called Break Levels), the Report will display other block types such as:
Group Header 'FieldName': the block used to display Header information about the break level corresponding to the 'FieldName' field. For example the content of FieldName when this break level starts. If this group is displayed it will be displayed after the Page Header block, and before the Detail block.
Group Footer 'FieldName': the block used to display Footer information about the break level corresponding to the 'FieldName' field. For example the sum of a numeric field when this break level stops. If this group is displayed it will be displayed after the Detail Block, and before the next 'FieldName' Group Header if one exists.
