An additional text entry is a static text string, up to 255 characters, that adds information to the reporting tree definition, such as a short company description. You can create up to ten additional text entries for each reporting unit in a reporting tree definition. The additional text appears in the report for the reporting unit to which the text is assigned.

You can add text entries from the Descriptioncolumn of the row definition and from the Headers and Footerstab in the report definition. For information about adding additional text to row definitions, see Description cell in row definition . For information about adding additional text to the headers and footers in reports, see Headers and footers in report definitions .
