Creating Layout Templates

  To create a layout template:

1. Click Templates on the main SQR Production Reporting Studio screen.

2. In the Templates tab, click New.

   The Layout window for the template is displayed.

3. In the Layout window, create the layout for the template.

   When you create a layout for a template, you can insert objects into the report layout, define formatting styles for the objects, and define report properties.

   You can insert objects into the Report Header, Page Header, Details, Query Summary, Page Footer, and Report Footer sections of the layout.

   You cannot insert objects into the Group Header or Group Summary sections. This is because groups are tied to query fields, and SQR Production Reporting Studio does not store query information in a template.

4. Select File, then Save, enter a name for the template, and click OK.

   SQR Production Reporting Studio saves the template with an SRT extension. For example, stockreport.srt. The template is saved in the directory specified in the Templates field under Start in directories in the General report preferences (see General Preferences).

   Note:

   In addition to creating a template in the Template window, you can save a report layout as a template. To do this, display the report in the Layout window and select File, then Save Template.
