Set the report template directory

When you create a new report template directory, you need to complete some simple configuration before the templates in that directory are seen by Genero Studio.

You have created a directory to hold your custom template files. You must update the creatables.conf configuration file to make Genero Studio aware of this directory. Once added to the configuration, all templates in the directory appear in the Report From Template selection list.

The initial template directory is defined in the createables.conf file provided in the Genero Studio installation directory (at $GSTDIR/conf). It is recommended that you add additional directories in your user-specific createables.conf file.

Before you begin:

Know the full path to the new template directory.

Update the creatables.conf file in the user's AppData/Roaming/FourJs/GRW/tpl/reporting1.1 directory and add details about the directory. Use this example as a guide:

<DocumentDirectory index="35" label="Report From Template"
 name="RWReportFromTemplate" icon="document_4rp"  directoryPath="D:/myTemplates">
  <DocumentType extension="4rt" icon="document_4rt" action="RWTemplateWizard"/>
  <DocumentType extension="4rp" icon="document_4rp" action="RWTemplateWizard"/>
</DocumentDirectory>

Select Tools >> Specific Setup >> Reload.
Click Reload session.

The templates within the specified directory appear in the Report From Template list.
