REPORTS Colon Added to Criteria Items in Reporting | With this enhancement, a colon is added to the end of each criteria item label in the header of the criteria for non-Excel output report views for custom and standard reporting. This creates consistency between the report outputs, as a colon is already used at the end of each criteria item label in the header for reports when viewing the Excel output. |
