Adding Page Numbers to a Report

How to add page numbers to a report

If your report is more than one page, it's important to include page numbers to help your readers easily follow and understand the document.

Page numbers serve several purposes:

  • Navigation: Readers can quickly find and refer to specific pages, especially in long reports.

  • Organization: They help maintain the correct order of pages if the report is printed or shared in hard copy.

  • Professional appearance: Including page numbers gives your report a clean, polished, and easy-to-read layout.

  1. Using the Report Designer,  create a PageFooterBand on your report. To do this, right-click on your report, then select Insert Band > PageFooter.
  2. Drag and drop the Page Info control from the Toolbox to the Page Footer band.
  3. Change the control's display format as needed in the Page Infor Tasks category.
  4. Save your changes.
