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.
