The page footer enables you to insert data, text or images in the footer area of each page within a report. You can use the Properties area in the Report Designer page to adjust the properties, apply formatting, etc.
The page footer may be used to insert page totals in a report. It is also typically used to apply page numbers to a report. To do this use the SummaryType property in the Properties area of the Report Designer page.
