How to build a library of styles to use on multiple reports?

I'm currently trialling Web based JS version. I want to create a number of styles collections and then use them ACROSS different reports. Currently every time I start a new Report all my styles have to be recreated. That is not very useful.

Also is there a way of accessing the styles from the themes that are shipped with the product?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

https://youtu.be/9XSLxf6vas0?t=72 - please watch video. There, in the form of styles in the toolbar, you can find buttons to load and save styles to a file.

Let us know whether it is what you are looking for.
Thank you.

Sorry Andrew I was too quick in replying because I thought once I'd saved the styles in a file I would get back what I had saved.

However although I can save the styles in a file when I open them again in another report there is nothing from the styles that's saved:

- not their names
- not their formatting
- not their conditions

Unless I'm doing something wrong they are useless in the new report. I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong because I know that your software is usually very good and I'm doing something wrong.

Please advise me.

Hi Kubekin

I noticed you also had 2017.1.4 so I downloaded that and tried it with that too but the same results.

I've noticed that if I create a style AND apply it in the report and then save the styles then the styles are correctly saved and I can retrieve them. However if I just create a style but do NOT apply it in the report then the style is saved but WITHOUT all the other attributes of name, condition etc.
