Where the footer 'goes' depends on your document structure. If you have a document with a 'different first page' and/or a 'different odd and even' page layout, you'd have to choose whether to put the footer table into the 'first page' footer, 'even pages' footer, and/or the 'primary' footer. Moreover, if your document has multiple Section breaks, you might need to do that process for more than one Section, depending on whether the footer in a given Section is linked to a previous one. For a plain document, though, the footer just goes in the page footer; there's no such thing as a 'start' or 'end' of the document for a footer - it replicates on all pages.
