| Option                                  | Function                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
|-----------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Always open Report Designer in Run mode | If the checkbox is selected and a saved report is opened, Report Designer will always open with the Run tab active.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| Insert field title above cell on drop   | If the checkbox is selected, when a data field is dragged into an Excel sheet, Report Designer will automatically create a title one cell above the data field. The title can be modified or deleted in the cell.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| Show tooltips in modules                | If the checkbox is selected, you will get tooltips with extra technical information from the ERP system when hovering over a data item in the Report Designer menu.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| Create Group Dialog                     | The vertical slider has three settings (Always, Conditionally, and On CTRL). Depending on its position, Report Designer will always, conditionally, or never prompt the user to create a new group when a data field is dragged into the report definition. If the slider is set to On CTRL, OSR Report Designer will never prompt the user and the user must manually create a group by holding the CTRL key while dragging the field. ![](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/onestopreporting/create-templates/report-designer/introduction/report-designer-interface-2/osr-excel-ribbon/options/1-the-designer-tab/img/en/create-new-group.png) |
| Application                             | Allows you to select a language for the OSR application using a drop-down list.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| Integration Dictionary                  | Allows you to select a language for the integration package using a drop-down list.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
