Layout Mechanics - FileMaker Pro 13: The Missing Manual - page 335

Also, layout objects can behave differently when they're placed in different parts. For ex-
ample, items in a Title Header appear at the top of the first page of a printed report, but items
in a standard header usually appear at the top of every page. Here's the rundown of part
types:
▪ Title Header . Put objects in the Title Header that should appear only at the top of the
first page of a printed report. The Title Header appears only in Preview mode and when
printed. Some common Title Header objects are the report's title, a company logo, large
column headings, and general information about the report itself. If you make a Title
Header the height of a full page, it can act like a cover page for your report.
▪ Header . Objects in a Header will appear at the top of every page in a report, unless
there's a Title Header. In that case, Header objects appear from the second printed page
onward. When you're in Browse mode, objects in the Header appear at the top of your
screen. Layout titles, column headings, and navigation buttons are generally well suited
to Header parts.
▪ Leading Grand Summary . This part appears below the Header and above the Body on-
screen and in print. You'll usually place special fields, called summary fields ( Container )
in a Grand Summary part.
▪ Body . The Body shows data from each record. In Form view, the Body appears only
once (in Browse mode; in Preview or Print, the Body for more than one record may fit on
a page). In List or Table view, the Body repeats once for each record. Many layouts, es-
pecially those meant to be viewed onscreen, will contain only a Body part.
▪ Subsummary . Subsummary parts work like Grand Summary parts, but they summarize
subsets of your data. For example, a sales report showing worldwide totals in a Grand
Summary can also show a breakdown of totals by individual country. Unlike the other
parts, a single layout can contain more than one Subsummary. See Summary Fields and
Subsummary Parts for more info.
▪ Trailing Grand Summary . Just like a Leading Grand Summary, except it appears below
the records it's summarizing.
▪ Footer . A Footer is like a Header, but it appears at the bottom of every screen or printed
page, unless you use a Title Footer. Place page numbers, copyright notices, small report
titles, and anything else you want to appear at the bottom of your screen or page.
▪ Title Footer . The Title Footer appears at the bottom of the first page when printed or
viewed in Preview mode. “Wait,” you say, “surely you meant that the title footer appears
on the last printed page.” No, it really does appear on the first page. If you have informa-
