There are these principles for to determine header and footer:
(A)
You can use the predefined page styles `First Page`, `Right Page` and 
`Left Page` and/or add own page styles for `Copyright`, `Dedication` and 
`ToC` or whatever you need. In each of the page styles you can 
individually decide about having a header and about having a footer and 
about the content of header and footer.
(B)
You use one page style. In it you uncheck the options `Same content on 
left and right pages` and `Same content on first page`. You can then 
have different content in header and footer for first page, right page 
and left page. This is usually combined with page layout `mirrored`.

There are these principles for to determine the change to a different 
page style.
(C)
In tab `General` of a page style you can set the style for the next page 
in field `Next Style:`. That mechanism is used in the predefined page 
styles `Right Page` and `Left Page`.
(D)
You set the to be used page style in the properties of the first 
paragraph of the page; in case a table is the first thing on the page, 
then in the properties of the table. You will find the setting in tab 
`Text flow`. In section `Break` check `Insert` with Type Page and 
Position Before and check `with page style`.
(E)
You make the settings described in (D) not at the individual paragraph, 
but make it in that paragraph style, that you want to use as first on 
the page, e.g. paragraph style `Heading 1`.

You can mix the methods (A) to (E).

As you can see, there are numerous ways and possible combinations. There 
is no general best method, it depends very much on your individual 
requirements.

Kind regards,
Regina
