Common title for 400 reports

I am developing an ERP system with over 400 reports in 2 languages .

How can I make a common report title for all of them so that when the logo and company name change, it will be applied to 400+ reports at the same time?

Is there a better way to make the bi-language of the report different, which does the two reports?

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

You might be able to use Post Parts .

A portion of the report is published to a server similar in concept to a shared data source or dataset. They can be added to your report to ensure a consistent presentation of information.



Once inserted, they are directly embedded in the report, rather than a reference to an object such as a subordinate. This allows you to customize the portion of the report as needed for the report and provides good performance for the portion of the report. However, it is loosely related to the published definition.

If you need to update the definition of a portion of a report, all reports that use it will continue to contain the old definition until they are opened, updated, and published.

For new reports, you can create a template. Assuming you are using Visual Studio / BIDS, the templates are here ...

C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0 \ Common7 \ IDE \ PrivateAssemblies \ ProjectItems \ ReportProject



(replace 10.0 for which you have Visual Studio version)

As you specifically noted, only wanted to change the title and logo of the report. You can simply fill them in from a field in the database somewhere, based on a parameter in the report that determines what to display.

Then just copy / paste the header into all reports and from now on you can change the header data as you wish.
