Define multiple style collections in the designer

Hello,

We are have been creating styles (.sts files) and applying them as required, manually by loading the template. However, we would like to be able to add multiple style collections to the designer and pick one of them during design time. Is this possible in the designer?

For eg: In the below screenshot, we are able to select from multiple styles for a chart control,

Is there a way to have a similar dropdown for the entire report style?

Hello.

Unfortunately, there is no style to the report.
But you could use the Style Collection.
You could read about it in the User Manual.
Also you could find Creating Collection of Styles in HTML5 Designer tutorial video.

Thank you.

Thanks for the response.

I understand that there are style collections and I am able to define one and select it into the report style parameter. My question really is if we are able to define multiple style collections on the same report, so that we are able to select one during design time.

Right now, it looks like we are only allowed to have one style collections. When I create a new style collection, it seems to override the old one. Or it might just be that I am unable to see it. :)

Hello.

Did you try to uncheck the Remove Existing Style option when you create a new collection?

Thank you.
