In the following example, let's assume that a new report with a new resource bundle is configured in Sigma Studio. Let's see how to provide different display names for the report columns while configuring a report in Sigma Studio.

To make use of different display names in reports, perform the following steps:

  1. On the home page of Sigma Studio, click Manage > Report.



    The Information Report screen appears.



  2. Enter a unique Report Id in the Report Id field e.g. Card_Summary.

    No blank spaces and special characters should be used in the Report Id field. However, you can make use of the underscore symbol.




  3. Enter a unique Report Name in the Report Name field e.g. Card Summary.



  4. Provide the other necessary details to configure the report, as shown in the following screen shot:

    For detailed information on creating reports, refer Configuring Reports.




  5. Replace the default resource bundle key of common with a different resource bundle key in the Bundle field, e.g. normal.

    By default, common is provided as the default resource bundle key for the reports in Sigma Studio. The 'common' bundle key indicates the usage of US English Language format (e.g. common_en_US.properties) for the configured reports. The listed properties file (e.g. common_en_US.properties) paves the way for the usage of the resource bundles in the reports and if 'common' is provided as the bundle key for a report, then the same set of display names will be applied across all the configured reports. Hence, the bundle key is modified (e.g. normal) so as to ensure that different display names can be provided for various reports. However, it must be ensured that you provide different bundle keys for each of the various reports.




  6. Click the Add Labels icon to provide the display names of your choice for the report columns and the report title.



    The Resource Bundle Entries screen appears.



  7. In the Column Labels tab, provide the display names of your choice for the report columns, as shown in the following screen shot:



  8. Click Save to save the resource bundle entries.



  9. On the Information Report screen, click Save to save the report.



  10. Access the Sigma Application and select the child instance of the configured report, e.g. Card Summary.



  11. On the Customize tab, click Run to generate the report in the selected PDF format.



  12. Download the report from the Generated Reports tab.



    The provided display names for the report columns appear in the Card Summary report, as shown in the following screen shot.
