Designing the Report Layout
Reports in Reporting Services can include a variety of graphical and style elements. A report can span multiple pages, with a header and footer that are repeated on each page; can contain graphical elements such as images and lines; and can have any number of fonts, colors, and styles, which can be static or dynamic. Subreports and controls can also be displayed within a report.
