Delete Template Command

Use the Delete Template command from the File menu to delete a template.

To delete a template

  1. Select the Delete Template command from the File menu.

    The Delete Template dialog, shown in the following image, is then displayed.

  2. Select the template that you want to delete from the Templates list box or enter the name in the Template name text box.

  3. Filter the list of template names in the Templates list box in one or both of the following ways.

    • To display only those templates that contain that text in their report description, enter text in the Text contains text box. For example, only those templates that mention Pay in their description are displayed if you enter Pay, providing a refined selection list.

    • To display only those templates modified during that period, select a last modified period from the Last modified list box. For example, only those templates that were modified in the week prior to the current week are displayed if you select Last Week. The default value is any time, which means that reports modified in any period are displayed.

  4. To further refine the display of templates, perform one of the following actions.

    • To display details relating to the last modified dates of the displayed templates, click the Display Details button. (This is the default display.)

    • To display the reports as a simple list, click the Display as List button.

    • To display the report properties of the selected template, click the Display Properties button.

  5. Click the Delete button. Alternatively, click the Cancel button to abandon your selections.

The Delete Confirmation message box is then displayed.

Click the Yes button to confirm the deletion. Alternatively, click the No button to abandon the deletion.

You can recover a template after it has been deleted while the current session of the JADE Report Writer Designer application is still running (that is, before you have exited from the application by using the Exit command from the File menu).

A temporary copy of the deleted template is made and given the name of the template, with a suffix of before delete. This temporary copy is displayed in the Open Template dialog and you can restore it by opening it and then saving it.
