Report Banding

Report bands have two purposes:

Some bands differentiate areas of the page layout (e.g Title, Page Header, Summary, etc.).
Other bands are created to display information for a group of records (e.g. rgcrse, nmid).

The following lists types of bands and their uses:

Title - information that appears at the beginning of the report (e.g. title, introduction, cover page).
Page Header* - information that is printed at the top of each page in the report (e.g. date, report title, logo).
Group Header - information that is printed at the beginning of each data group (e.g. course number and title, individual's name and address).
Detail* - data and text printed once for each record generated by the query (e.g. individuals registered in class, all individual's optional fees).
Group Footer - information printed at the end of each data group (e.g. total enrolled in course, total amount due for each individual).
Page Footer* - information printed at the bottom of each page in the report (e.g. special notes or instructions, signature lines).
Summary - information printed at the end of the report (e.g. summaries, conclusions, final totals).

*Default bands which are part of every report and cannot be removed.
