Hi

How can i add a description to a custom report so that it is displayed alongside the report name in the reports screen.

Hi Lee

I tried typing a description into the Report Admin screen and was unsuccessful. I then realised the actual part of the system I probably needed was Message Translations.

I setup a new message translation with a type of “Description” and added the text for the report description that I needed. I then assigned this new message translation in the “Description Message ID” field on the Report Admin screen for the report in question.

It now works as expected

Hi @PirtekKH,

You should be able to add this and other values using the Report Admin screen.

Hope this helps,
