Ability to create multiple header and/or footer sections (e.g. HeaderA, HeaderB, etc.) and suppress them conditionally and independently
It would be very helpful if instead of using the binding feature to reduce the height of a page header at run-time dependent on if a field within the header is used or not, to instead be able to create multiple header and/or footer sections (e.g. HeaderA, HeaderB, etc.) and suppress them when certain conditions are met.  For example you can have Page Header A and Page Header B.  Page Header A might include the company name and would only appear on the first page and be suppressed on subsequent pages.  Page Header B would include the title of the report and would appear on each page.

Hello Ramy,

Thank you for the suggestion. I discussed it with the team and unfortunately, I must decline it. The reason is that we already provide means for achieving the described layout. You may use Page Sections, Report Header/Footer, and Group Header/Footer - see The Basic Structure of the Report.

We agree though that it is a good idea to automate the Page Sections shrinking when there is no content. We already have similar feature requests and you may vote for them:

Regards,
