Reports - column descriptions

Hello,

 

at the moment, there is no possibility of adding any type of column descriptions in the reports. A some reports can be quite complex it would be beneficial to have some kind of descriptions of columns, either an information icon or mouse-over text.

 

It would be great if this could be implemented.

 

Best regards,

Sara

    This can be done in text-mode by adding:

     

    description=This sentence will pop up when the user hovers over the column header.

    The hover description text mode works. 

    description=This sentence will pop up when the user hovers over the column header.

    we also added below method of text mode to display text on the result result as well.

     

     

    column.50.displayname=Team Name
    column.50.sharecol=true
    column.50.textmode=true
    column.50.value=<strong><font color=#000000>Project Executive*: </font></strong>
    column.50.valueformat=HTML
    column.51.textmode=true

     

    If you find this helpful, It would be helpful for others if you could mark this as Correct reply. Thanks

    Thank you for sharing this tip. I am trying to add more than a one line in the description. How can I add separate lines in the descriptions while lines do not appear as they are all part of one paragraph but each starting on a new line? for example:

     

    Short Term: 0 - 6 Months

    Med Term: 6 Months - 3 Years

    Long Term: 3 - 5+ Years

     

    Rather than 

    Short Term: 0 - 6 Months Med Term: 6 Months - 3 Years Long Term: 3 - 5+ Years

    To render lines of text on seperate lines in the description attribute, include the ‘\n’ code in between each line. For your example below,

     

    description=Short Term: 0 - 6 Months \nMed Term: 6 Months - 3 Years \nLong Term: 3 - 5+ Years

     

    Would render as you want in your description.
