The header band contains heading information that appears at the top of every screen or page.
The presentation style determines the contents of the header band:
- If the presentation style is Tabular, Grid, or N-Up, the headings defined for the columns in the Database painter are in the header band and the columns are on a single line across the detail band
- If the presentation style is Freeform, the header band is empty and labels are in the detail band next to each column
You can specify additional heading information (such as a date) in the header band and you can include pictures, graphic controls, and color to enhance the appearance of the band.
Note: To include the current date in the header, place a computed field that uses the Today DataWindow expression function in the header band.
