Package com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.template Description

This package enables you to apply a custom template to a report. A template can be either a copy of a report used as a starting point for creating a new report, or it can be a report whose formatting is applied to a new report. Templates allow you to apply predefined formatting, fields, and other items to a report using another report that you have already created. For example, you can create a report that has common features that other reports share, such as the company letter head, a hyperlink, and so on.

For report templates, you can apply the following to a new report:

Note: Applying a template to a report is very similar to applying a style. The difference lies in the flexibility that templates offer. Styles are fixed and predefined, while templates may be customized to meet your needs.
