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.
