CentraSite Documentation : CentraSite User’s Guide : Working with Reports and Report Templates : Viewing or Editing the Properties of a Report Template
Viewing or Editing the Properties of a Report Template
You use the Report Template details page to examine and modify the properties of a template. When viewing or editing the properties of a report template, keep the following points in mind:
*Some attributes within a template are designed to be read-only and cannot be modified even if they appear in a template on which you have modify permission.
*Modifications that you make to a report template will take effect as soon as you save the template.
To examine and modify the properties of a report template
1. In CentraSite Control, display the list of report templates (see Viewing the Report Templates List from Control UI for details).
2. In the displayed list, click the link of the report template whose details you want to examine or modify.
The details include:
In this field....

Name
The name of the report template. A template name can contain any character (including spaces).
Note:  
A report template does not need to be unique within the organization. However, to reduce ambiguity, you should avoid giving multiple report templates the same name. As a best practice, we recommend that organizations adopt appropriate naming conventions to ensure the assignment of distinct report template names.
