Find these properties

Select the information on your report you want to work with, then from the Properties pane, view the Design area. If you can't see the Design title, click the Categorized button at the top of the pane.

Tip: You can also set the report name or description in Report Properties. Select Report Properties from the toolbar, or choose Report > Report Properties.

Property	Description
Description	You can enter a description for the report, which is displayed in the Report Browser.
Name	You can set the name for the report, and individual expressions. To change the name of the report, select the report's name from the Report Explorer pane, then set the Name in the Properties pane. When you create an expression, it is good practice to set its name to something meaningful so that you remember its purpose. This is especially useful if you need to reuse the expression elsewhere in the report; you can drag-and-drop named expressions onto your report from the Expression folder in the Variables pane.
Report Tag	You can use report tags to help people find your reports more easily in the Report Browser. A report tag is a text label that you can add to your report, and use as a category to group related reports. You can add as many tags to a report as you want. When you use the Report Browser, you can choose to view reports by their tag, so you can quickly find the reports that you are interested in. See Report tags.
