how to make css common to multiple reports and editable? [message #138236]

If you import a css file, it only allows you to import styles form that file
which it seems to embed in the report locally.

How to you have CSS for all your reports such that if you edit the style it
changes all the reports?

Thanks,

Hi,

One way of doing this would be
- Create a library
- Import the css file into a library
- share the library across mutliple report designs.

OK, found the answer by trial and error: neither templates and importing
from style sheets helps, you have to create a library, add styles to a
theme, link the library, then use the theme.

Ive made some notes of the process:

I wish this had been in the field guide....
