5.9.1 Adding a Section Element

To add a Section element to the report, click the 'Section' button in Toolbox panel. This adds a blank Section at the insertion point.

See Creating a Section Using Freehand Operations to add data fields to the Section.
The section consists of a set of bands. (The default bands are 'Header', 'Detail', and 'Footer'.) Each band can contain other fixed-position elements as sub-elements. The sub-elements of a band are positioned relative to the top-left corner of the band. Each section band can be decorated with borders and a background color. (See Setting Global Section Options.)
When you use a Section as a pseudo-table to display grouped data, the Section may display multiple levels of headers and footers. These header and footer bands display group labels and group summaries, while the 'Detail' band always show the detail records. See Grouping and Summarization in Data Binding Wizard for more details.
