Report Details Properties dialog box: Template tab

The Template tab of the Report Details Properties dialog box contains configuration options for the template auto text code. This auto text code displays the complete template details, including attribute details and metric details.

By default, each setting on this tab inherits the document or report setting, as described in Configuring auto text codes. If you are configuring the auto text codes in a specific text field, the setting is inherited from the document setting. If you are configuring all the auto text codes in the document, the setting is inherited from the report setting. You can return to this default by selecting Inherit from the drop-down list for the specific setting.

  • Use the Base Template name setting to select whether or not to display the template name of the dataset report.

  • If you set Base Template name to Yes, the template name is displayed for a stand-alone template on a dataset, but the words "Local Template" are displayed for an embedded template.

  • If you set Base Template name to Automatic, the template name is displayed for a stand-alone template, but the template name is blank for an embedded template.

  • If you set Base Template name to No, the template name is not displayed, whether or not the template is stand-alone or embedded.

An embedded template is one that is part of the dataset report, as opposed to a template saved as a stand-alone object.

Select whether to include, omit, or use the inherited setting of the:

  • Template Description (the short description of the template)

  • Non-metric template units (objects on the report other than metrics, such as attributes, consolidations, and custom groups)

  • Metrics (the metrics on the report)

If you choose to display metrics, the following settings are also available, so that you can select whether to include them, omit them, or use the inherited settings. If metrics are not displayed, the information is of course also not displayed. If you choose to inherit the Metrics setting, these settings are also inherited.

  • Conditional Metrics Only

  • Formula

  • Dimensionality

  • Conditionality

  • Transformation
