Hi,

I have a report which I've added a useful descrption to explaining what the report is showing.

I'm now trying to embed the report into a dashboard (Add panl -> Report -> choose the relevant report . The data is coming through fine but the description isn't being shown in the dashboard.

How can I get this to show up?

Thanks

Verify firstly :
if you have all the permission to embed the report .
if you are scheduled the report,
Note that the embedded Report will not have data until the scheduled search runs
If all the point mentioning above is well , start Disable report embedding and then re-embed this report i think that i will be work.
for more information read the splunk-6.1.1-Reports.pdf file .

Hello

Maybe you could use an html panel to show the text you need
