Renaming practice reports

If you wish to rename a report across a practice, you can use the Rename Reports task to do so. This is useful if you wish to rename a report that is being used for multiple clients. It also ensures consistency across the practice when naming reports.

The report name can also be restored to the value at the foundation level.

Any report name changes at the client level will take precedence over name changes made here. If there are any open clients, close and re-open them for the change to take effect.

You can rename reports:

at an individual client level, or
