Importing Report Templates

The Template Import component installs the default templates into the database. These templates can be used for generating reports and documents through the Reports module in eCounsel and Secretariat. See Making a Report Available from a Tab.

If importing a Crystal Report using i-net Clear Reports, the .rpt file must be run through Report Reader (Crystal Reports 9 and higher only) to create a *.xml.rpt file. For reports to be loaded in bulk, all *.xml.rpt files must be renamed *.rpt, and an accompanying header file (.xml) must be created for each report reader template.

If importing a Crystal Report using SAP Business Objects Business Intelligence Platform, the original *.rpt file must be used, and an accompanying header file (.xml) must be created for each report.

In addition, create a directory from which to load the files that has the following folder structure on a local or network drive (you will only need one of the folders BusinessObjects Crystal Reports or i-net Crystal Clear Reports depending on your installation) :

dgrm_Report_Folder_Structure_New

Copy all *.rpt, and *.xml files to the Templates folder underneath the BusinessObjects Crystal Reports or i-net Crystal Clear Reports folder.

To Import Templates:

  1. Open Suite Manager.
  2. On the Suite Manager control panel, click the icn_Template_Import Template Import component in the Tools & Utilities area.
  3. On the Template Import window, select the template location, either My computer or Web server.
  4. If you selected My computer, click the btn_Browse button to locate either the BusinessObjects Crystal Reports\Templates or i-net Crystal Clear Reports\Templates folder on the local computer.
