English term or phrase: Trouble with phrasing.
I can't quite figure out how to say the following sentence in Spanish without sounding really cumbersome. Could a native speaker help?
"The Shared Information Section describes how you want information on the reports presented."
Context is Financial/Software.

Explanation:
"La sección de información compartida describe cómo presentar los antecedentes en los informes".

"Antecedentes" para evitar la redundancia de "información" con "informes".

Sería mi sugerencia.

Explanation:
The sentence, as it's written in English, does not make sense. How can a section describe how I want the information to be presented in the reports? Is it supposed to be some kind of section with paranormal abilities that allow it to guess what I want? The idea that wants to be expressed is clearly "this section describes how to present the information in the reports." Otherwise, as I said, it doesn't make any sense and a literal translation into Spanish wouldn't make any sense either.
