Reporting - Option to remove the Date from the Footer of all reports
The print date that now appears at the bottom of reports is useful for some reports and circumstances, and I understand this date is now turned off for Published Reports.
However we do not 'publish' our financial statements - we send our financial statements to clients in a practical and informative pack instead. This is a more efficient, professional and streamlined approach for us.
Showing the print date on these financial statements is of concern, due to various issues including the lag time between preparing and approving the report. It is also not ideal when preparing the directors resolution and we have a resolution signed date, then a report date at the bottom that is completely different. It does not look very professional at all.
Rather than having to re-run these reports each time, which creates inefficiencies, we need the ability to be able to toggle this date on and off - at least at a template level, or alternatively at the report level.

It's good to know the small changes that can make a difference to our customers. Thank you for all sharing with us on the idea, here. Our team are looking into a solution at the organisation level, that'd enable you to remove the Date from footer for all reports exported to PDF. While they explore this we'll move the idea to Under review and I'll be back to share more as this moves along.

In a shareholders' resolution template e.g., to appoint new directors you currently cannot get rid of the line that says "For the month ended 30 September 2022" or "For the year ended 31 March 2022". I actually want to eliminate that entire line as the date is at the bottom with the signatures or at least have the ability to only have one day at the top of the report.
