Attach Template Command

Use the Attach Template command from the Report menu to attach an existing template to your current report design.

To attach a template

1. Select the Attach Template command from the Report menu.

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

   

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

3. Filter the list of report names in the Name list box in one or both of the following ways.

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

   • To display only those templates modified during a specific period, select a last-modified period from the Last modified text box. For example, if you select Last Week, only those templates modified in the week prior to the current week are displayed. The default value of any time means that templates 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 templates as a simple list, click the Display as List button.

   • To display the template properties relating to the displayed templates, click the Display Properties button.

5. Click the Attach button. The selected template is then attached to your report design layout. Alternatively, click the Cancel button to abandon your selections.

The frames of the attached template are visible only if you have the Show Template command selected. For details, see "Show/Hide Template Command" under "View Menu", earlier in this chapter.
