Maintain Report Templates

You can import templates for printed sheets, also referred to as 'text reports'. When you print a report, if there is more than one template for that report type, you can select the report template.

When you display a report for printing, you can modify the layout of the report. If you save the modified layout as a template, that template can be maintained in Site Maintenance » Mine Site » Report Templates. See also Maintain Report Template Designs and the Data Dictionary for Text Reports.

For templates for data entry in DataBlast Pro, see Maintain Measurement Entry Templates.

Report templates are .mrt files. See File Formats.

Note: Contact Datamine or check your DataBlast installation package for a collection of report templates.
