Reference : Report Bands : Detail Band
The Detail Band is the central part of a report. Unlike other report bands, this band cannot be deleted - the report structure includes the Detail band as its core. The contents of the Detail band are repeated for every data entry. If a report listing, for example, employees is being built, it will be rendered for each employee in the database.

As stated above, the Detail band is printed for every data entry. When the Keep Together option is on, Reporting attempts to keep sequential detail band entries together. This option makes sense only when data is grouped or in the case of a master-detail report. The report engine tries to keep group contents on one page. If a group does not fit and would start in the middle of a page, the report moves this group to a new page, thus reducing the number of page breaks in continuous data.
This property is used to arrange the printout of the band's content in several columns. Refer to Multi-Column Report for further information.
