Web Intelligence and css

[Former Member]

Hi BO experts,

is it possible to create a design in css and use this design for reports created with webi?

I heared about that with crystal reports its possible and would like find out if I can use style sheets for webi reports.

Maybe I should complement my question. If it ist not possible to use css, is there any way to create a default design or s.th. else to implement a corporate design for all reports?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hi Viktor,

yes, it is possible in BOEXI:

You just have to edit the related defaultConfig.xml file on the BO Server:

Windows based BO installation:

<BO folder\Tomcat55\webapps\AnalyticalReporting\webiApplet\AppletConfig\defaultConfig.xml

Unix based BO installation:

/<BO_install_folder>/bobje/bobje/enterprise120/warfiles/WebApps/AnalyticalReporting/webiApplet/AppletConfig

The defaultConfig.xml is used to specify how the default style of your report would be, when you create it.

But is there a way to change/configure the UI properties of already created reports?

Any info on this would be helpful.

Thanks.

The already created reports are not affected....default.Config is used only when you create a new document, by default take that styles but at last you can change it manually....

you may want to say you want create a template for the Webi reports.

no, you cant create a template coz the Webi gives a full dynamic report creation for the users.

good luck
