Configuring report properties for a web report

The report properties define the titles and subtitles that display in a web report. You can define a title, subtitle, and secondary title.

Example titles as they display in a rendered report

In the Report Builder, the Report Configuration properties are defined in the right-hand Configuration Panel.

To configure report properties for a web report:

  1. In the Report Canvas of the Report Builder, click on the title text to load the Report Configuration properties. For example, if the report currently uses the default name of New Report, click on the New Report text or next to it.

    Click on the title text to load the Report Configuration properties

    If you are in a brand new report, the Report Configuration properties display by default when you first enter the Report Builder. However, as soon as you drag and drop a column to the Row Definitions box or the Column Definitions box, the column will be selected which causes the Column Configuration properties to display. In this case you need to click on the report title to return to the Report Configuration properties.

  2. Complete the Report Configuration properties that display in the Configuration Panel.

Report properties

The following properties are available for web reports in the Report Configuration panel:

Item Description

Title

The main title for the report. This text displays at the top of the report, over the grid.

Secondary title

Optional. The secondary title for the report. If defined, this text displays in the same line as the main title, separated by a horizontal pipe character. For example:

Title | Secondary Title

Subtitle

Optional. The subtitle for the report. This text displays in smaller font underneath the main title.

Description

 Optional. A description for the report.

Frequently asked questions

How do I define a report-level filter to limit the data in the report?

You can set a grid-level data filter to limit the data in the report. Select the data grid on the Report Canvas, then use the Grid Configuration properties to define a Data Filter.

Because currently web reports can only contain a single grid, defining a grid-level filter is effectively the same as defining a report-level filter.

Can I use variables in the report titles?

Web reports do not currently support variables. This functionality is likely to be a future enhancement.
