Add a supplemental page

Include a supplemental page in a report to enhance it with supportive visual material. You can insert supplemental pages above or below a report section or other supplemental pages. You can add both layouts that are in the project and external layout files (.pagx) as a supplemental page. Layouts in the project that you add as a supplemental page remain dynamic. Changes made after you add a supplemental page to a report are included when the report is shared. When inserting a layout file, the layout and all the maps it references are added to the project.

  1. Right-click a report section in the Contents pane. Alternatively, right-click an existing report section in the report document view.

    Note:

    Layouts of the same page size or smaller are recommended. A warning appears if the chosen layout has a page size that is larger than the report, as the resulting supplemental page will be clipped when shared.
