Variable Report Layouts in CRN like css

[crnplayer]

Hi All,
I have to develope about 100 reports. Unfortunatly my user like to change there specifications a lot.
Is it possible to have a template on the crn server that i can use and change the layout (logos, description text...) for all report afterwards (like css).
Any suggestions / samples?
Thanks in before
JEK

Hello CRNPLAYER,

You might try this:
In report studio go to 'tools' --> 'copy report to clipboard'.
Then paste it to a text editor and perform a 'find & replace'.
Copy all to the clipboard again and then from 'tools'
--> 'open report from clipboard'.

This is quite a fast way to edit reports, but I don't know if you can use it in your situation.

Regards and good luck,

Robert

Thank you rtveen,
in the meantime I had a discussion with Cognos Product Managment - they know the weekness of CRN concerning my question. The answer was like "In the next release may be a possibility to work with templates as you need it".

Not to much - I will use copy and past in xml as you described it.

Kind regard,
JEK
