You can use the
Report
Properties window to get an overview of the report. With the
exception of the
Name field, the information
in the
Report Properties window is different
from the information that appears on the
Properties tab
in the right pane of the designer. The
Report Properties window
provides information such as who created the report and when it was
last modified.
All of the information
in the Report Properties window is generated
after a report is saved. You can add or change only the Description and Keywords for
the report in the Report Properties window.
Tip
Starting in the 7.2 release,
text in the
Location field in the
Report
Properties window is now selectable, which makes it easier
for you to share the location of your report with other users.
To view a report’s
properties:
-
Select
FileReport Properties. The
Report Properties window
is displayed.
-
(Optional) Update the Description or Keywords for
the report.
Tip
There is a limit of 200 characters
in the
Description field.
Tip
There is a limit of 60 characters
for each keyword in the
Keywords field.
By comparison, the
Properties tab
in the right pane of the designer can be used to update the properties
for individual report objects or report sections. The available properties
depend on the selected report object. To move to the properties of
different report objects or report sections, click
after the report name, and then select another report object or
report section from the list.
