Issue
I need to set up a ReportOverrides folder so that I can use customised reports more easily
Solution
KeyACCIDENT now uses a ReportOverrides folder
Report templates can be copied into this folder and amended without needing IT admin rights
You will need to manually create a folder, named exactly as ReportOverrides
Create the folder at:
C:\Users\ [username] \AppData\Roaming\Transoft Solutions\KeyACCIDENT\ReportOverrides
Note: this Report Overrides folder is version-free so needs to be alongside main version folders
This means your customised reports will persist when you upgrade your KeyACCIDENT version unless there are changes to the STATS19 data format
If you have amended a Crystal Reports report template, save it in the ReportOverrides folder without changing the template name
When producing reports, KeyACCIDENT checks in this folder first and will use any report in there rather than the saved file
This means the Report Selector will use your report when selecting from the list of standard reports
Monochrome reports option
If you want to keep both a colour and a monochrome report option, create a subfolder called Monochrome and save it within the Report Overrides folder
C:\Users\ [username] \AppData\Roaming\Transoft Solutions\KeyACCIDENT\ReportOverrides\Monochrome
Save your customised colour report in the ReportOverrides folder
Save your customised monochrome report version in the Monchrome folder
