Template Configuration Workspace

Whenever the Advanced Reporting extension is installed, the Advanced Reporting libraries are equipped with certain pre-configured report templates. (see Configure Reporting Templates).

You can either use these templates as is, or can further configure them as required. After further configuration, these templates can be deployed back to the respective libraries using the Template Configuration application. In addition to configuring pre-configured templates, you can also add new templates to these libraries using this application. Procedures relating to modifying existing templates or adding new templates to these libraries are performed by Librarians.

Using the Templates expander you can add the report templates to the respective library on the management station. It lists the report templates files that you import using the Import expander.
