I'll add report generation metadata options to the header widget, allowing users to display "Generated by" information and date/time stamps.
I've added comprehensive report generation metadata options to the header widget! Here's what I've implemented:
New Report Metadata Features:
"Generated by" Option:
- Toggle control: Enable/disable the "Generated by" field
- Custom input: Enter name, system, or organization
- Professional display: Shows as "Generated by: [Name]"
- Optional field: Only appears when enabled and filled
Date & Time Options:
- Toggle control: Enable/disable date/time display
Multiple formats:
- Full Date & Time: Complete timestamp (default)
- Date Only: Just the date
- Time Only: Just the time
- Custom Format: User-defined format string
- Live updates: Shows current date/time when enabled
Layout Options:
- Below Title (Stacked): Metadata appears under the subtitle
- Inline (Side by Side): Metadata appears horizontally aligned
- Flexible positioning: Choose what works best for your layout
Smart Formatting:
- Automatic formatting: Uses browser's locale settings
- Custom format support: Advanced users can specify exact format
- Consistent styling: Matches theme colors and typography
- Professional appearance: Clean, business-ready presentation
Properties Panel Integration:
- Dedicated section: "Report Metadata" section in header properties
- Conditional fields: Options only appear when relevant toggles are enabled
- Real-time preview: Changes appear immediately in the widget
- Helpful hints: Guidance text for custom formatting
Visual Design:
- Subtle styling: Metadata uses secondary text color
- Clear labels: "Generated by:" and "Generated on:" prefixes
- Responsive layout: Works well in both stacked and inline modes
- Theme integration: Respects current theme colors
Use Cases:
- Business reports: Show who created the report
- Automated reports: Display system generation info
- Compliance: Track when reports were generated
- Version control: Timestamp for report versions
- Professional presentation: Add credibility to reports
Example Display:
Flexible Configuration:
- Mix and match: Use either or both metadata options
- Custom branding: Add your name, team, or system
- Format control: Choose how date/time appears
- Layout control: Position metadata where it looks best
Now users can add professional report generation metadata to their headers, making their reports more credible, trackable, and business-ready!
