master page

In BIRT technology, a predefined layout that specifies a consistent appearance for all pages of a report. A master page typically includes standard headers and footers that display information such as a copyright statement, a date, or page numbers. The master page can contain report elements in the header and footer areas only, as shown in Figure G-84.
