Report template library & selecting packages

[justinjbird]

Hey all

I'm currently developing a report template library rather than a report template as it will provide us a bit more flexibility with our consumers i.e. different headings etc.

One of the issues I've experienced in developing this on making it available as a template icon is that the desired package doesn't load and needs to be selected manually.  I've tried the alternative ways to load report studio and neither seems to function as expected:

Process1

• Launch Report Studio
• Select "Test" package from "Select a package" window
• Select "Create a new report or template"
• Select my template

Process2

• Navigate to "Test" package
• Launch Report Studio
• Select "Create a new report or template"
• Select my template

In both scenarios, my template is loaded as expected, all components are available and I am able to select different components from my library store however, the "Test" package hasn't loaded.  All that is there is "Metadata not available" in a grey font.  I then need to manually load the package by right click > report package or through the file menu.

Is this a drawback of using manual templates or is there something I've missed during implementing this?

Your input is much appreciated....
