How to: Add or Remove a Page Header or Footer (Reporting Services)

You can add static text, images, lines, rectangles, and borders to page headers or footers. You can place expressions and data-bound images in a textbox if you want variable or computed data in a header or footer.

Note

Each rendering extension processes page headers and footers differently. For more information, see Adding Page Headers and Footers and Understanding Pagination in Reporting Services.
