The General page allows you to view or edit general properties of a report specification. It appears by default when a new report specification is started, or when an existing report specification is clicked. You can also return to this page by clicking the General tab in the left pane of the report specification page.
The table below contains the general properties of a report specification. Field descriptions are listed in display order.

Description

*Report Name

Your name for this report specification. Each specification in a report folder must have a unique name within that folder. Maximum length: 250 characters.

Unique Key
|
This text string is used for localizing reports - translating the report prompts to other languages. If your organization does not do localization, you should leave this field empty. If you plan to do localization, enter a string that is unique (a string that is not found in the Unique Key of any other reports.) Use only characters A-Z, a-z, and 0-9. Maximum length is 50 characters.
This field is only editable if it is empty. Once you have supplied a text value to this field, it cannot be changed.
For more information about localization, see Localizing Reports.
