Adding disclaimer text to a cube?

[puppyquestion1]

We provide cube services and data for our division but as you know, often people can crosscut a cube's data and end up with very bizarre results if they don't know the underlying data.

With that in mind, we want to add a disclaimer to our cubes basically saying, "THIS REPORT NOT REVIEWED BY XYZ DIVISION."

We've tried putting it in the cube's title in the cube properties in Powerplay Enterprise server, but when someone prints to PDF, online the dimension line is printed with the report and not the cube title (which also has a time/date stamp).

We also looked into trying it as a background .gif watermark in the cube properties, but to get background .gifs to work, you have to disable the ENHANCED cube interface and make it GENERIC display.

Any ideas how we might get the disclaimer into both the screen view and the PDF output view?

Thanks all.

I had a similar issue and just ended up putting the required text in as a dimension (script used to adjust the text on each build according to the date). Not as elegant or as inspired as one would like, but got the job done.

Thanks lex.

We think we've solved the problem by publishing the cube to Upfront as a .PPX report (an interactive report).

However, next question if anyone would like to chime in, is there a performance hit taken between publishing a CUBE to Upfront and having people interact with it vs. publishing as a CUBE REPORT (.PPX) that people can cross-cut in interactively?
