I once saw an image of Report Manager that showed a block of text next to each report name describing the report. How is this information added?

OK but that's after the report has been deployed. Can it be added in VS2005 when developing the report so when deployed to the customer this description/help info is present?

we use to add a textbox to report header and add the description these in design view so as make this available as a strapline for user.

I found it under Report > Report Properties > Description in VS2005. This does display the description in Report Manager. The report I saw had fancy boarders around the text to section it in Report Manager?
