After saving the row and column template to the repository as an object, you can insert it into an unlimited number of compatible grids. When a row or column template is inserted into a report, formulas outside of the template are adjusted accordingly. Only formulas within a grid are updated; not external formulas, which refer to the grid with the template, from text objects or another grid.
To insert a row and column template:
Open a report and select a row or column adjacent to which you want to insert the row and column template.
Select Insert, then Saved Object. The Insert Saved Object dialog box is displayed with a view of the Explore repository.
To link or unlink a row and column template to or from the repository as an object, perform an action:
To create a link between the report and the template in the repository, select Link to Source Object. You can link the row and column template to the current grid so that the grid maintains a dynamic connection to the row and column template preserved in the repository.
A template that is linked within a grid can only be modified through format inheritance. For more information, see Inheriting Cell Formatting.
To use the template in the report without maintaining a dynamic link to the source object in the Explore repository, clear Link to Source Object. For more information, see Unlinking a Row and Column Template.
