Understanding the DataWindow painter Design view
For most presentation styles, the DataWindow painter Design view
is divided into areas called bands. Each band corresponds to a section
of the displayed DataWindow object.
DataWindow objects with these presentation styles are divided
into four bands: header, detail, summary, and footer. Each band is
identified by a bar containing the name of the band above the bar and
an Arrow pointing to the band.
These bands can contain any information you want, including
text, drawing controls, graphs, and computed fields containing
aggregate totals.
The following picture shows the Design view for a tabular
DataWindow object.
