Can we create a template of STAAD.Pro report and use it for another STAAD.Pro models?

In STAAD.Pro 2023 a new Reports workflow has been implemented. One of the enhancements in it is an ability to create a Report Template and use it for any other STAAD.Pro model or even share that template with the colleagues along the organization.

A template is an XML file used to store selected report items, styles, watermark, etc. present in the report workflow. A template file contains:

• report items with customizable columns’ information
• report configuration details (i.e., options, header, and font styles)
• text watermark details (no picture watermark info).

To create a Report template:

1) Analyze a model and then go to the Reports workflow:

2) Add the required items to the Report Builder list:

3) If required, change the header, font or some other options in the Configure menu:

4) On the Reports ribbon tab, select the Save icon in the Templates group:

5) In the opened Save Template dialog, provide the template name and a folder where it will be saved and click Save:

To include all items regardless of their selection status, clear the Save selected items only option.

To use the template in another STAAD.Pro models:

1) In the Reports workflow, select the Load icon in the Templates group:

2) In the opened dialog, click Add button and then Browse button to find a created template if it was saved in some non-default folder. Then click Add:

3) Select the required report from the list and click Load:

Note: If report items are present in the template but not available in the model, a message is displayed.
