Adding Heading Elements to a Section
In a Section that displays grouped data, you can use the heading element to generate a table of contents (TOC) listing the different groups. To do this, add a heading element into the header band of the Section as follows:
1. Right-click in the header band of the Section that represents the group you wish to display in the TOC.
2. Select 'Insert' > 'Special Field' > 'Heading' from the context menu. This changes the pointer to a crosshair.

3. Drag the crosshair in the Section to draw the heading element.

4. Bind the new heading element to the desired grouping field. Follow the steps below:
a. Click the header element to select it.
b. Click the 'Properties' button at the bottom of the Style Studio window to open the Properties panel.
c. Select the Data tab on the Properties panel.
d. In the 'Binding' area of the Properties panel, select the desired field from the 'Column' menu. This field will supply the values that the heading element will display.

e. Click the 'Apply' button at the top right of the Properties panel.
6. Preview the report. The heading element now displays the group name for each group in the Section header. (Each repetition of the Section header band – for each group – displays the corresponding group name.)
You can add a TOC element to the report to list these groups within a table of contents. See Table of Contents for more information.
