How to Display Template Notes in a Dynamic Report

1. Open the Dynamic Report.

2. Click the More listbox.

3. Select Show Notes. You can also select Hide Notes to hide them from display.

   

Once you click Show Notes, a Notes column is displayed on the report and notes are displayed for each line in the report. Notes are always vertically bottom aligned like the other cells in the report.

A date/time stamp with user name is added to the beginning of each note. The date/time stamp format is applied based on user location and language settings.

Guardrails:

• The maximum number of characters displayed in the notes field is 1024, which includes that username and date/time stamp.

• You can have up to 250 notes per report. If you exceed 250, the following message appears:

Notes are aggregated and displayed when coming from several sources. For example, notes sourced from multiple templates for the account and scenario combination. Consolidation happens for multiple scenarios, companies, departments, and so on for the page or column axis for leaf members in the hierarchy.

Notes are retained when running a Dynamic Report in a Report Collection or Financial Package Publisher. Notes are also retained when the Dynamic Report is sent in an email or exported and when you save a snapshot of a Dynamic Report.

Notes are not time bound. For example, if a scenario’s duration is Jan 17 to Jan 19, but the time selected in the report is Dec 16, notes are till displayed for these lines even though data does not exist on those scenarios for Dec 16.

If you suppress empty rows/columns, corresponding notes are also suppressed. Similarly, if the report line does not have any data, notes are also not displayed for those lines.
