Headers:

You can make reports more meaningful by adding descriptive titles, headers, and footers. Within these elements, you can include text, picture objects, and variables.

Add a header or footer to make a report easier to read. Headers and footers are containers in which you can add objects like text, images, and report expressions such as the current date and page numbers. You can add headers and footers to pages and lists. Headers and footers contain important information such as the cube name, the report name, the names of dimensions, and page numbers. When you insert a cube filename, the path and directory where the cube is located are also inserted.
