The design of a report is divided into sections that divide the report vertically. Each report section represents a specific area on the report page and defines what items can be placed in it and how they will look.

Each report consists of sections that divide the report vertically and [report items](#report-items) that you place in each section. A report section represents a specific area on the report page and defines what items can be placed in that area and how these items will appear.

You can hide the Page Footer on pages of your choice, for example, on all even pages or on the first and last page of the report. By hiding this section, you can free page space for the rest of the report content.

Report groups allow you to visually separate logically related data sets. To show the group boundaries and display introductory and summary information for each group, you can use group header and footer sections. For example, you can use different report groups to represent the detailed sales data for each region, and the group header may contain the name of the region while the footer can contain the total number of sales for that specific region.
