A typical template contains some editable report elements and some non‑editable elements. Examples of editable elements include report titles or tables in which you insert data. Examples of non‑editable elements include standard copyright or confidentiality statements. You can only format elements that the template sets as editable.

This section describes the editing and formatting tasks you can perform using the default installation of Report Studio. Some editing or formatting functionality might not be available to you if your system administrator configured Report Studio to omit that functionality.

To format an element, first select and right-click the element. Then, choose the formatting action. You cannot select a single row of data in a table, nor can you select a single data value, unless the value is an aggregate calculation or a column header. To highlight a particular row or value, use conditional formatting.
