Report Header


The Report header is used to print information which is needed only on the first page of the document. On an invoice, this may include specific document information such as the credit terms, bill of lading or sales people. The figure below outlines a sample Report header on a form.

 

Fields from the input file for Report Headers and Footers and for Page Headers and Footers must be defined in the Base Page first.
