custom template for webi xi 4.0 reports?

[Former Member]

Goodmorning, is there a way to design a custom template and use it as default template when I create a new webi report?

I need to set the default layout of the page (A3 - landscape for example) and use a default set of colors and font for table cells (header, body and footer), titles and subtitles, graphs and so on...

can anyone help me?

In BO 3.x you can overwrite an xml file that it's placed in a particular path of BO and tomcat installation, but in XI 4.0 those folders are not present...

thanks in advance

thanks a lot for your urls.

is there a complete list of css properties I can use for each WebI object?

what are the properties I can use for the table object or for the cell object of for the section object?

for example: which property I should use to show the table footer row?

thank you again

email address is a required field to create a profile. I've just checked for it too...

Do you know if there is an html template for a webi document?

The idea is to edit this HTML and CSS in a tool like dremaweaver, to see changes in look&feel as we modify the CSS.

Thanks

P.S: all 3 links ara the same
