Overview
The Global Report Template allows SmartSimple administrators to add an HTML header and footer to all reports in their system, in order to personalize the display of their organization's data.
Accessing the Global Report Template
You can access the Global Report Template with the following steps:
1. Click on the 9-square menu icon on the top right of your page.
2. Under the heading Tools, select Reports.
3. The list of reports available to you in the system will be displayed. The second tab is labelled Global Report Template - click this tab to begin customizing your report header and footer.
Using the Global Report Template
The Global Report Template is split up into two text boxes - for the Header of your reports, and the other for the Footer. In order to create these universal report header and footers, simply enter HTML into the respective text boxes.
-
- The two buttons at the bottom allow you to Preview what the HTML of your header and footer will look like, or Save the content so that the header and footer will appear with your reports.
- By default, the header and footer defined on the Global Report Template will be applied to all reports. This means that the header and footer created with the Global Report Template will appear whenever a report is run or previewed.
