Report Notes

You can add notes to any report.  Notes can include both text and graphics. 


You can use notes for various purposes, such as: 

  • Describing the report content and typical uses 

  • Explaining any calculated fields used on the report 

  • Providing instructions on how often the report is intended to be run 

  • Describing in detail any Favorites associated with the report. 

Notes belong to a report definition and are shared by all users.
