Is there a way to display help text inside the parameter dialog box when it is presented to the user when they run a report. At the bottom of box where the user inputs the parameter values of the report, i would like to put in a small description of what the report is and explanation of the parameters they are presented with? Does anyone know of way to do this?

The only way I've found is putting in help text is to modify the "Prompt Text" of the parameter options, you can use "<br> " in there to create line breaks.
Regards,
Ryan.

Thanks Ryan, That worked. I created another parameter that is blank and put the text in that one so it appears below the 2 required parameters.
