Avoiding page title repetition
The report title defined in Page header is repeated on every page. Business wants it to appear only on the first page. This recipe will show you how to achieve it.
Getting ready
We will use the report created in the previous recipe.
How to do it...
We will start by deleting the title from the page header, as this object repeats on every page.
Now select the list object and open List Headers & Footers dialog from toolbar or menu.
Check the option of Overall header and click the OK button.
From properties of the list, define the Column Titles as At start of details.
Now select the newly added header row from the start of the list. Add the required title to it and define formatting (font size, alignment, and so on).
Run the report to test it.
How it works...
Anything we add to the page header and page footer is repeated on every page. This consumes space and ink on the PDF output used for printing.
Hence, we use the 'Overall Header' for the list which is shown only once...
