Each report's dashlet container has additional formatting properties depending on the dashlet. Those properties can include:

Title: The Title is editable and you can toggle it on and off. As a convenience, the original report name displays.
Note: You can use variables, with either the GetVariable('variable_name') or V{variable_name} syntax, in the description text.
Report: Report displays the internal location and name of the report. You can replace the current dashlet with another report and still retain the original dashlet properties using the Birst Report Catalog navigator.; Note: Use this to check whether a report is public or private, and to copy its internal name for use in SSO parameters. If there is a bookmark, it will display the new report. You will need to manually update any associated report email notifications.; Apply prompts if adding the prompt filter results in a valid query means that any prompt filter on the dashboard will apply if the data is relevant to the filter. If you do not want any filters to apply to this dashlet's report, deselect this option.
Enable View Selector: Enable View Selector gives end users the option to select a different type of report style, such as a pie chart instead of a bar chart.
Display Save As: Display Save As allows users to save a copy of the report from the Dashboard.
Enable Report Exporting: Enable Report Exporting allows end users to export reports to a variety of formats for use in other presentations or documents. When enabled, the Export menu icon

appears on the dashlet. Reports can be exported to Excel or PDF. To export reports as PDF or other file formats, your must belong to a group that has downloads enabled. Additionally, verify the report was saved in the Public folder and not a private folder; Caution:
Visualizer charts exported to Excel do not look exactly like the report in Visualizer. For example, Visualizer reports exported to Excel do not support break-by sub-summaries.
