Defining report titles and description for a web report

Using the general Report Configuration properties in the Configuration Panel, you can define a title, subtitle, and secondary title for the web report. You can also define an optional report description.

Example titles as they display in a rendered report

To configure report titles and description 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 becomes 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. In the Report Configuration panel, complete the report properties as needed.

    Title-related report configuration properties

The following title and description properties are available:

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:

Subtitle

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