Reports : Report templates : Sections
 
Sections
Report template sections contain all other 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, Figure 267.
