When you add a block to a joined report, it’s named automatically based on the report type and the number of blocks in the report. For example, if your report contains two blocks and you add a block that’s based on the Opportunities report type, it’s named Opportunities block 3.

1. Create or edit a joined report.
2. From the preview panel, find the block you wish to rename and click ![the pencil icon](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-analytics-264-0-0-production-enus/295fead5-b71d-4e1c-9886-4af4d53400b6/analytics/images/rd/rd_icon_pencil.png) next to the current block name.
3. Enter a new block name.
4. To keep the name, on your keyboard, press **Enter**.
5. Click **Save**.
