Thanks

You can use the report xml as a basis for a template. To be able to select the template from within report studio you need to modify a host of files like:

..\webcontent\pat\res\templates.xml  (99% of the report xml)
..\webcontent\pat\res\resources.xml  ( under : <listView id="New" view="icon" clipLabels="false"> add a new list item)

..\webcontent\pat\images  (add a small .gif file (30x30) for the new template to be shown when creating a new report)

..webcontent\pat\res\reportstudio_en.xml (or other language xml's):

add an entry to this file like:

<string id="IDS_LBL_NEW_TEMPLATE_CROSSTAB" type="Control Label">New Crosstab template</string>

In other documents they mention to focus on reportstudio_en.xml  and TablesStyles.xml. You didn't speak about TablesStyles.xml how come? What do we have to put exactly in templates.xml and ressources.xml?

In my case I have to apply a new tables styles for a list

Thank you in advance for ur feedbacks
