1. Bring up your Balance Sheet report.
2. Click Options (or Edit » Report Options).
3. Select the General tab.
4. Change Report Title to Net Assets. This is the one that appears in
the report.
5. Change Report name to anything you wish, though Net Assets is
probably easiest.
6. Look at all the tabs and change any other options you wish.
7. Click OK.
8. Click Save Report Configuration. A window will open showing the
Report name from step 5. Click Close to save this report configuration.

In future, click Reports » Saved Report Configurations and then click
the green dot to the right of your Net Assets report.
