Change the Default Query Studio Template

All Query Studio reports use a default template. You can create a custom template, for example, to include your company logo in it, and set it up as the default template for Query Studio reports.

The templates are created in Report Studio. For more information, see the IBM® Cognos® Report Studio User Guide.

Procedure

Go to the c10_location/configuration directory.
Locate the file qrsvpproperties.xml.sample, and rename it to qrsvpproperties.xml.

Open the qrsvpproperties.xml file, and in the following code:

<structure>
	<!-- Default template for reports. -->
	<!--<property>defaultSystemTemplate</property>
-->
	<!--<value>/content/configuration/reportTemplate[@name='QSdefault']
       </value> -->
</structure>

Un-comment the property and value elements
For the value, type the search path of the new template.

Tip: To find the template search path in IBM Cognos Connection, open the template properties page and, on the General tab, click the View the search path, ID and URL link.

Following, is an example of the resulting code:

<structure>
	<!-- Default template for reports. -->
	<property>defaultSystemTemplate</property>
	<value>/content/package[@name='GO
Sales and Retailers']/folder[@name="Templates
"]/reportTemplate[@name='RS
template']  
	</value> 
</structure>

Save the qrsvpproperties.xml file.
