Creating and Modifying Report Templates
To create a new report template, or to modify an existing FastReporter
report template, you must use the Crystal Reports application. For details
on using Crystal Reports, refer to your Crystal Reports product
documentation.
To create a new report template, EXFO recommends that you start with an
existing FastReporter report template and modify it as required. This way
you will have access to the database fields for populating the report with
measurement data. Once you are done, save it using a different name that
suits your testing needs.
By default, FastReporter report templates are located in:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\EXFO\FastReporter2\Standard\Report Template, if your computer is
running on Windows XP.,
OR
C:\ProgramData\EXFO\ FastReporter2\Standard\Report Template, if your
computer is running on Windows Vista or Windows 7.
You can access the available report templates in the Select Template File
dialog box (displayed when you click Print Preview on the File menu), the
Print dialog box (displayed when you click Print on the File menu), and on
the Report dialog box (displayed when you click Report on the Tools
menu).
