====== Report Bands ======

The following bands are defined in the Report Designer:

===== Title =====

This band usually shows the title of a report. It is only processed once at the start of the report when the report is filled out with data at run time.

===== Page header and Page footer  =====

A report may contain several pages (the size of a page is determined in the Report properties – see [[docs:2500_config_apps:4200_report_designer:1300_set_props|Setting Report Properties]]). Elements of these bands are shown in the header and footer of each report page respectively. 

===== Column header and Column Footer  =====

The data shown in a report may be displayed as several vertical columns (the size and number of columns are determined in the Report properties – see [[docs:2500_config_apps:4200_report_designer:1300_set_props|Setting Report Properties]]). Elements of these bands are shown in the header and footer of each column respectively. 

===== Details  =====

This is probably the main section of a report. Elements in the details band are repeated over and over again for different sets of data available in the data source at run time (see [[docs:2000_concepts:0900_prod_feats:0200_working_with_docs_reports|Reports]]). For example, if the details band contains elements that display values of the two attributes of a business object and at run time there are 5 instances of the business object (found by a query, for example) the elements in the details band will be repeated 5 times. Each time the band will be filled with attribute values of the corresponding instance.

===== Group bands =====

The data of a report may be divided into groups. For example, each group may only show the data starting with a particular letter of the alphabet. The Group bands are explained in greater detail in the [[docs:2000_concepts:0900_prod_feats:0200_working_with_docs_reports|Reports]] section. 

===== Summary  =====

This band usually shows the report summary. It is only processed once at the end of the report. 

You can change properties of the bands – see [[docs:2500_config_apps:4200_report_designer:1300_set_props|Setting Band Properties]].
