Sections
Report template sections contain report elements. By default, a blank report contains sections for header text, a header image, and a footer that cannot be removed. One blank section for content is included.
Elements can be added to, removed from, and organized in the blank section. Sections can be added, moved, edited, and removed using the section toolbar that appears when you hover the cursor over the section title bar.
The following options are available in the section toolbar:
| Add | Add a new section to the report template. See “To add a section to a report template:” on page 178. |
| Move Up | Move the section above the section currently directly above it. |
| Move Down | Move the section below the section currently directly below it. |
| Edit | Edit the section. See “To edit a section:” on page 179. |
| Delete | Delete the section. Select OK in the confirmation dialog box. All section content will also be deleted. |

The default sections will only accept certain elements:
