Defining general properties for web reports

Each web report has a set of general report properties to define the following:

Display title for the report browser tab
Associated file group for the report
Associated help code for the report
PDF settings to enable and control PDF generation

The general report properties are defined on the Report Settings panel of the Report Designer. All of these settings are optional.
