Introduction

You can easily customize your reports and page views by renaming column and row headings to match your firm's terminology and your clients' needs—for example, you could rename the Price column if you need to call the column Price in Dollars. This customization is possible for both PDF reports and dynamic reports.

The column labels are specific to each PDF template, dynamic report, or page view.
