How to Add Custom header/footer

The Custom header/footer is used to add any input value you want shown in your report. 

Follow the steps below to guide you on how to add custom report header.

1. A new row will be available in the grid section.
2. Enter a value in the Description field. This value should be as descriptive as possible so it would be easy to read what header/footer is that for. 
3. In the Type field, select Custom.
4. The Group field dictates the order of the header/footer. Set this field 1 if this will be the first row to show in the header/footer, 2 if second row, so on and so forth. Set this to 2 for this illustration.
5. In the Alignment field, set how the value for the column be displayed. Set this to Center.
6. In the With field, select Page.  This will occupy the entire page. 
7. Leave Column Description field blank.
