Design tab areas
When you first begin creating a report, Crystal Reports automatically creates
five areas in the Design tab.
• Report Header
This section is generally used for the report title and other information
you want to appear at the beginning of the report. It can also be used for
charts and cross-tabs that include data for the entire report.
• Page Header
This section is generally used for information that you want to appear at
the top of each page. This can include such things as chapter names,
the name of the document, and other similar information. This section
can also be used to display field titles above the fields on a report.
• Details
This section is used for the body of the report, and is printed once per
record. The bulk of the report data generally appears in this section.
• Report Footer
This section is used for information you want to appear only once at the
end of the report (such as grand totals) and for charts and cross-tabs that
include data for the entire report.
• Page Footer
This section usually contains the page number and any other information
you want to appear on the bottom of each page.
If a group, summary, or subtotal is added to the report, the program creates
two additional sections:
• Group Header
This section typically holds the group name field, and can be used to
display charts or cross-tabs that include data specific to the group. It is
printed once at the beginning of a group.
• Group Footer
