Overview
Headers and footers can be added to report templates for your PDF exports. The steps below will add a header or footer to only one tab of a template at a time. To add headers to multiple tabs or templates, you will need to repeat the steps for all sheets/templates that need the header or footer.

Add a Header or Footer to a Template
Step 1. Navigate to Reports & Libraries > Libraries.
Step 2. Select any report and then click the Edit 
button to the right of the template that needs a header or footer.
Step 3. Click the Page Setup 
icon in the blue section of the left editor bar.
Step 4. Click the tab across the top with the name of the tab that needs a header or footer.
Step 5. Click on either the Header or Footer section.
Step 6. Headers and footers can be aligned accordingly, left, center, or right, depending on how you'd like to align your content.
Step 7. Add text to the appropriate section, depending on where on the page the footer should appear.
Step 8. You can use the function buttons below to edit your header or footer:
-
FORMAT TEXT: Choose the font, font style, font color, and strike-through settings.
PAGE NUMBER: Starting with the First Page Number from the Page section, insert the current page number in the desired section.
TOTAL PAGES: Insert the total number of pages in this workbook (not only this sheet).
INSERT DATE: Dynamically reflects the date the report is run, similar to Excel's TODAY function.
INSERT TIME: Dynamically reflects the time the report is run.
INSERT SHEET NAME: Dynamically inserts the name of the current sheet.
INSERT PICTURE: Insert an image from your local machine - the height of the image should be smaller than the header/footer margin.
Step 9. Underneath the Left, Center, and Right sections you'll see the Expected Output, which functions as a preview after text has been entered.
Adjust Header/Footer Margins
Step 1. While on the same tab of the Page Setup dialog, expand the Margins section.
Step 2. Set margins that will allow enough space for the text/images in your header/footer without overlapping the rest of your template. Our suggested defaults are below:
-
- Top/Bottom: .5 inch
- Left/Right: .25 inches
- Header/Footer: .3 inches
Step 3. Repeat all steps for each tab of the current template that needs a header or footer.
Step 4. Click the green Submit button.

Step 3. From the preview, click on the Export to PDF 
button and view the header or footer in your final document.
