# Reports - New / Edit Report Settings

Most report settings are available when creating a new report or editing an existing report. The **Schedule Report**settings are only available after the report has been created.

## New/Edit Report Settings

These settings can be set upon report creation, or adjusted later.

| **Setting** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| **Name** | Displays name of report on the list of reports as well as the title of the report when rendered as a PDF. Name can be updated at any time. |
| **Realm** | Adding the report to a [Realm](/v1/docs/realms) will only allow it to be accessed in Slate by users who can access that Realm. |
| **Folder** | Place report a folder and/or subfolder. |
| **Orientation** | Landscape reports render with much wider tables. When exporting to PDF, the report will be 8.5" x 11" in the orientation chosen. |
| **Colors** | All graphs and charts within the report utilize a defined set of 10 colors. These can be customized precisely using either the palette selector or hexadecimal color notation. |
| **Parameters** | [Adding parameters to a report](/v1/docs/parameters-in-reports) allows you to include query string parameters where the values are passed into report filters. |

## Schedule Report Settings

These settings are only available after the report has been created. They allow you to automatically email the report on a predetermined schedule.
