Ensure that headings provide enough information to clearly identify the
values that they label.

To test a table's accessibility, read its headings and values in a linear
fashion from left to right and from top to bottom. For example, if a report
displays last and first name fields for each customer, it may read better
if it displays first name followed by last name. Whenever possible, test
the report using assistive technologies such as screen reading software.

The final accessible report includes a summary of the data table.

To display the table summary conditionally, the report designer divided the
Page Header into two sections. The first page header is suppressed when
the ?Access parameter field is set to No . The second page header is
suppressed if the user chooses Yes . For details, see
