Adding Column Descriptions to Reports

eramsey

Would love this feature as well. And frankly, I am surprised it has not been done yet.. it doesn't seem that complex from a programming perspective to pass that information along to a report.

I completely agree. One of the uses of reports is to make things easier for designated audiences by showing only a subset of the information. Why would we want to make it more difficult for them by not explaining what each column means? Please implement the requested feature.

I can see forum posts relating to this feature request since 2018. Is there any update on this? Any idea if it can move from the Wishlist to the backlog?

Particularly useful when a report has more than one user group / audience

This would be a game-changer!!! Please prioritize this enhancement.

Please prioritize this request! We don't let most of our users see the underlying source sheet so we need a way to let them know what the column is used for.

Ideally, I'd like to have separate column descriptions per report so that I could customize the use case for those specific users but if nothing else, let me use the existing description from the base sheet.

I am seeing the option for Column Descriptions in the Column Properties Drop Down on my Reports, but it is Grayed Out (not available), just kind-of teasing me…

Does this mean it is only available to select Accounts, or am I missing something?
