Adding A Default Data Source [message #150319] Mon, 03 April 2006 12:26 Go to next message

In the window that comes right after New Data Source, There is a list of
5 types of sources (example db, flat file, jdbc etc) Is there a way to
add another option to this list. For example I use the same source for
most of my reports but I don't want to copy and paste the source over
and over again in each report, nor do I want to recreate the settings
each time. Or is there a way to make a data source default for the
whole project?

Thanks in advance

Jonathon,
There is a way to add to the list. All the drivers implement the ODA
extensions. This may be more work
than you want for your needs.
If you only want to save the properties and reuse you can create a blank
report add your source
and then create a template. Or add them to a library.
