Use this interactive demo to learn how to update a report description in Salesforce CRM.

Quick summary

Salesforce lets you edit a report description directly from the Reports tab by accessing the report's Properties panel. This keeps your CRM data well-documented and helps team members understand each report's purpose at a glance.


Steps

  1. Click the Reports tab at the top menu or within the App Launcher on your dashboard.
  2. Choose a report to open.
  3. Click Edit in the top-right corner of the selected report page.
  4. Click the dropdown beside Save and select Properties.
  5. Go to the Report Description section, make the necessary edits, then click Save to apply the changes.

📌 Why this matters

Keeping Salesforce report descriptions accurate and up to date helps sales and operations teams quickly understand what each report tracks, reducing confusion and improving CRM adoption. The ability to edit report descriptions directly through the Properties panel means admins and report owners can maintain clear, searchable documentation without rebuilding reports. For organizations managing dozens of Salesforce reports, this small workflow saves significant time and ensures data governance standards are met. Clean report metadata also supports better onboarding and handoffs across revenue teams.
