About sections

You can modify the basic report design by adding sections.

There are four section types and each occupies a default number of rows. You can increase or decrease the number of rows.

Click a section to display the section type and the formatting options in the Section pane. The four section types are:

  • Page Header

    The Page Header section contains the column headers, so is effectively the title row. There is only one Page Header section.

  • Header

    A header section consists of one of the output items from the report. For example, Account Code. A header is displayed on each change of the selected item in the report. For example, if the report displays all the transactions, grouped by account code, the relevant account code is displayed as a header on each group of transactions.

  • Subtotal

    A Subtotal section consists of one of the output items from the report. For example, Account Code. A subtotal is displayed on each change of the selected item in the report. For example, if the report displays all the transactions, grouped by account code, a subtotal is displayed for each group of transactions.

  • Total

    The Total section contains the column total. You can only have one Total section.
