A table has three regions: Table Header and Footer, Grouping Header and Footer and Details. Each region has specific behavior with each type of data. You can control whether to display Table Header, Details, and Table Footer rows on the Table Design Tools tab.

Control whether to display Group Header and Footer rows using the table adorners. See Adding a Group Header and Footer for more information.

When you place an attribute in the Details row, a static label appears automatically in the same column of the Table Header row. When you delete an attribute from the Details row, the corresponding static label remains in the Table Header row, so you must remove it manually.

Attributes in the Details row cause the row to repeat as many times as there are details. You can suppress the Details section for a summary report.

Aggregate attributes in Group Header or Footer rows summarize the data for the entire group. In Table Header or Footer rows, they summarize the data for the entire table.
