"Data Header" and "Data Footer" bands is possible only if the "Data" band was selected
beforehand.
There is also another way of configuring some bands. This can be done from the "Report"
menu:
To delete a band, select it and press "Delete" key.
When configuring bands, FastReport does not allow to do operations which leads to the
creation of a wrong report template. For example, you cannot delete the "Data" band, which is
connected to the group - for this, the group needs to be deleted first. Another example, when
deleting the "Data" band, its header and footer are deleted automatically. Also, it is not
possible to delete a band if it is the only one on the page.
Printing Bands
So, there are several bands placed on the page. How will FastReport compose a prepared
report? Let us look at the following example:
The "Report Title" band will be printed first. The "Page Header" band will be printed immediately
after it. Further, the "Data" band will be printed as many times as there are rows in the data
source, to which the band is connected. After all the rows of the "Data" band have been
printed, the "Report Summary" band is printed and at the bottom of the page - the "Page
Footer" band. Printing of the report ends with this. A prepared report will be looking something
like this:
