Custom Report Dialog

This dialog is used to associate and edit Excel Templates to be used for generating Custom Reports. Once a template has been associated with the report, a copy can be saved to the database and this copy can be used from then on.

The dialog is also used to set save options for generated reports.

To display the dialog, double-click a Custom Report, or drag it onto the background.
