Custom Report Headers
When you create a custom report template that outputs a report format other than CSV, you have the option to specify a custom report header to attach to the top of the report on its generation. You must create these headers beforehand. A custom report header can contain the report name, the date range of the data displayed in the report, filters applied to the data in the report, and the last updated date/time model. You also have the option to include a logo in the report heading. You can restrict the header to a single row of the report or you can allow it to span multiple rows.
Once you create a custom report header, you can create a new custom report template or modify an existing one to apply the header to it.
Reports generated in CSV format do not support headers. Reports generated in PDF format do not support logos in the headers.
