Templates for Reports ? 2

[TomB]

Hi,
I just started working with CR7 and I have to change about 25 reports so that they meet the corporate design. Is it possible to create something like a template ? Or at least copy the whole page header (footer) from one report to an other ?

Thanks !
Tom

Cant copy an entire section. V8 allows copying of multiple objects, but in V7, you have to copy each object separately.

The only style templates are the ones that Seagate provides in the Style Tab/Expert. You can't change these.

However, you can create a report with the desired Reprort header and use it as the starting point of other reports. You can't, however, apply it to existing reports. Ken Hamady

Tom8: Another tip is to investigate the use of Text Objects. These enable you to insert an number of different items inside them (formula fields, running totals, text etc.) and you can then copy and paste between reports and all of the enclosed items will 'pop up' in your new report.
