Title Page

Insert title page at beginning of report

Description

This component inserts a title page at the beginning of the report. To use the Title Page component, you need to have at least one Chapter component in your report. The Title Page component must be a child of the top-level Report or Report Form component.

For PDF and HTML reports, you can use the Style Sheet Editor to position title page elements (for example, title, copyright, and images) anywhere on the front or reverse side of the title page in any order. You can specify the size, color, weight, and slant of text elements. For details, see Modify Title Page Properties.
