When you create a new report using either of the default templates, the report opens with three default sections: a page header, a page footer, and a detail section. You can add or remove sections to determine the basic structure of your report, then configure report and section properties.
Note that you can add or remove sections at any point in the report creation process. Remember, however, that when you remove a section, any report controls that you have placed in that section and any properties that you have specified for that section are lost.
