Fig. 01 – Report Bands
The Report Designer supports two report bands: the Reports Summary and the Report Title bands. The Report Summary band is displayed at the end of a printed report, and the Report Title band is displayed at the beginning of a printed report. The Report Summary and Report Title bands can be output more than one time and can be used on each page.
There is no limit to the number of Report Summary and Report Title bands on a page.
Report Title Band
The report header can be displayed using the Report Title band. The report header is only displayed once at the beginning of the report. The Report Title band comes after the Page Header band, and before the Header band.

The Report Summary band is displayed on each page as many times as there are pages. It is used to output a report summary.
