Add or Remove a Page Header or Footer (Report Builder and SSRS)
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 Page Headers and Footers (Report Builder and SSRS) and Pagination in Reporting Services (Report Builder and SSRS).
Note
You can create and modify report definitions (.rdl) in Report Builder and in Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools. Each authoring environment provides different ways to create, open, and save reports and related items. For more information, see Designing Reports in Report Designer and Report Builder (SSRS) on the Web at microsoft.com.
