Key findings and recommendations
Key Findings and Recommendations are optional, but they look nice, and are a good place to put main takeaways, for the audience that won’t read the entire report. The “Key Findings and Recommendations” title can be overwritten with custom text.

Heading 1
Heading 2
Callout Text
- Ordered Lists

Table Column Options
Within the Settings tab, you can set the following:
- Size: Standard, Wide (default), Wider
- Background: White (default), Light Grey
- Bold Row/Column: You can choose to make the first row, last row, or first column text Bold.
- Minimum Display: For very large tables, you’ll want to set a minimum display width, this means that at this specific pixel width, a horizontal scrollbar will be added to the bottom of the table, so the content stays legible. This will primarily be useful at mobile sizes. The easiest way to test this is to resize your browser width to a narrow width, and note at which size it’s no longer legible. An automatic minimum will be automatically set, but this gives you greater control.
