Custom report names in new report packs

Question

Hi Again MYOB,&nbsp;I am still working my way through using the new report packs and I am finding some difficulties with the custom report name and custom report description.&nbsp;I have created a custom report that I would like to use in my report pack and I have given it a name to identify it as being a customised report.&nbsp; i.e. BalanceSheetLastYearNoCents.&nbsp;In the Description field I have just entered Balance Sheet.&nbsp;When I create my report pack template, I can see this customised report based on the report name and I select to use that report.&nbsp;HOWEVER, when I run the report rather than getting the description Balance Sheet in the Table of Contents, I get the code BalanceSheetLastYearNoCents.&nbsp;How do I get the correct description rather than the report's Name because I am unable to select the report by it's Description when I setup the template.&nbsp;Thanks,&nbsp;AlanT

Hi&nbsp;AlanT&nbsp;
Think this is a similar situation to&nbsp;New Report Packs&nbsp;where is a set value for the Table of Contents based on the name.&nbsp;I see you have shared&nbsp;Change the Report Pack so it uses a custom reports description in the Table of Contents instead of it's name&nbsp;on the Idea Exchange. I would encourage other users that would like to see that be included in the software to go through a support that idea.

Hi Steven_M&nbsp;&nbsp;I was so excited to see the possbilities of the Report Pack during the webinar last week and then I found out about all these limitations.&nbsp; The report can't even be exported to Word to fix these limitations.&nbsp;I'll just go back to my old way of doing things as it doesn't sound as if this will be fixed.&nbsp;AlanT
