Standardizing reports

[datanibbler]

Hi,

I am still working on my first report in QlikView, but I'm going to create many more and they should all have a standardized look.

Is there some article or something available on all the possibilities I have to create user-specific standards of any kind to make my work a bit easier?

Right now, I'm wondering: Every one of my reports should have one worksheet with a few standard textboxes: One with a link to an external Word document with approx. one page of report-documentation (different file for every report of course), one with some info on the data_contents of the report and one with the names and tel numbers of the adressee/ user of the report.

Is there a way other than just copying the objects one by one to the clipboard and pasting them to the new document? That is quite easy, but still somewhat awkward when I'll have to do it for every single report I create (I have about 80 to go)...

Thanks for any help!

Best regards,

You can copy/paste objects.  The better approach in your situation, i think, just copy the first qvw file under different name, create the 2nd application from this.

Hi,

You can create a 'theme' from the first that you make and use the same for other applications. See Help on the subject.

Hi Rebeca,

that's almost, but not quite what I want to do: That functionality makes a theme with the colours, access_rights and so on - but not the objects. What I want is to sort of copy a few standard objects (currently three textboxes) to every new document I create.

Is there any way to do that?`

Thank you!
