Remapping Content within Reference Files

As a reference file author, you may find that the available content that you defined needs to be remapped to different report content within the file source. This may occur if the reference file was updated or a named range was renamed or deleted.

You can remap the available content to other available content within the reference file.

Note:

Prior to beginning this procedure, ensure that the author phase has been initiated.

To remap available content within a reference file:

  1. If you have not already done so, open the report package, and then open and check out the doclet that contains the reference file to update.

    The impacted doclet is the doclet that is associated with a reference file in which you want to remap available content.

    The doclet should open in Word or PowerPoint. If you opened the report package in Excel, Word or PowerPoint is launched when opening the impacted doclet.

  2. Click Inspect in the Narrative Reporting ribbon to launch the Properties dialog box.
