Report themes and header footer layouts
Report themes and header footer layouts
Branding such as colors and fonts, and header and footer content, is defined once as a theme or header footer layout and reused across document reports. The demo shows one customer statement body layout combined with different themes and header footers.
Area: Reporting and analytics. Status: GA. Developer relevance: medium. Airtime: 4 min across 1 video, demoed.
Status evidence
- Nothing said about status; launch event convention: generally available unless stated otherwise.
Where they talk about it
- Introducing: Composite Document Layouts: 0:34 to 9:35, demo at 7:31 (called "Report themes and header footer layouts for reusable branding" and "Mix and match themes and header footers on one body layout" there)
Quotes
- 1:40 "And applying here means it happens at runtime. So, you can actually have the same report um you can run it in different ways." - Explains the design decision: theme and header footer are applied at runtime, not baked into the layout.
- 9:35 "we are not changing any default states or states for for any of the layouts we ship" - Existing layouts keep their default state, which makes the rollout low risk.
Documented features match
- Reuse header/footer layouts across document reports - medium confidence (llm). Docs say: General availability, roadmap id 573326. Composable layouts with header/footer; themes covered by brand item too
Docs checked on 2026-10-02: the match is against Microsoft's what's new pages for the wave as they were on that date. Microsoft keeps filling the documentation, so "no documented item" can go stale. The wider product documentation on learn.microsoft.com was searched for this feature on the same date; the feature's data lists an article when one was found.
