How to create a new style for the Estimate Total row

Styles help maintain consistent branding throughout your reports. Because multiple controls in Cloud Reports can share a style, changing a style can affect several areas of a report. For example, the Estimate Total and Fee Total footers in the Executive Summary use the same style by default. This article explains how to create and apply a separate style to the Estimate Total footers.

For more information about working with styles, see Change Fonts and Colors in Your Report With the Styles Editor.
