Modifying Report Section Headers and Footers (Legacy Reports)

The Report includes a default header and footer that you can modify.

For more information about the default header and footer, including specifying separate headers and footers for each section of your RTF report, see Report Properties.

  1. Right-click the root section item in the Report Items pane and select Header/Footer (or click the Header & Footer button in the Presentation Options page of the Report Creation Wizard) to open the Header and Footer dialog:


  2. Enter any appropriate changes to the header text. Edit the Footer text by clicking on the Footer sub-tab. You can use any of the variables available to the RTF template (see RTF Presentation Templates).

    If you change the default header or footer text, then the User-Defined check box is selected, to indicate that you have overridden the default values in the associated report language resource file. To revert to the default value, clear the check box. For more information about report language resource files, see Customizing and Extending PowerDesigner > Translating Reports with Report Language Resource Files.

    Note: Use the key combination Ctrl+Tab to insert tabulations in a header or open the Tabs tab in the Format dialog box (see Formatting Textual Report Items (Legacy Reports)) to set tab stop values.
  3. Click OK to return to your report.
