# Footer properties

The **footer properties** define the **bottommost section** of a table element, often used for **special remarks**, **timestamps**, or **summary data**.

***

## **Footer Settings**

### **Show Footer**

* **Enable or disable** the footer's visibility.

### **Edit Footer Content**

To customize the footer:

1. Click **Edit** to open the **Edit Footer** window.
2. Add **page elements** and adjust **properties** as needed.
3. In the **File menu**, click **Close**.
4. Click **Yes** to confirm **changes**.
5. Click **OK** or **Apply** in the **table properties** window to finalize.

### **Automatic Shrink/Grow**

* If enabled, the **footer height** adjusts based on its **content size**.

***

## **Best Practices & Remarks**

* **Full Design Control:** When editing the footer, you can add **any page elements** (except other table elements).
* **Dynamic Display:** Use **data providers** to show **real-time content**.
* **Automatic Shrink/Grow Functionality:**
  * Adjusts footer height based on the **bottommost element**.
  * If an **element resizes** or **becomes invisible**, the system recalculates the footer height.
  * If **all footer elements** disappear, the **footer is hidden**, freeing space for the **table rows**.
