Summary

Report Templates can be used to improve productivity in Report Design by allowing designers to handle formatting once and apply their changes to many reports with the click of a button.

No special knowledge is required to create templates because they are simply report files. However, Template Fields Objects can be used to take template creation to the next level.

Applying templates to existing reports is a straightforward step using the Template Expert, and the Expert also gives a preview of what the end result of the report will look like taking the guess work out of formatting. By using customizable templates, report designers can now focus their efforts on getting the right information out of the data instead of spending countless hours formatting and reformatting their reports.
