Add or remove a page header or footer in a paginated report (Report Builder)

[!INCLUDEssrs-appliesto] [!INCLUDE ssrs-appliesto-ssrs-rb] [!INCLUDE ssrs-appliesto-pbi-rb] [!INCLUDE ssrb-applies-to-ssdt-yes]

You can add static text, images, lines, rectangles, and borders to paginated report 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 Pagination in Reporting Services (Report Builder).
