If you add, change, or remove options or custom defined fields that are used in an existing field report template, you will need to manually update the field report templates to reflect the change. To reflect the changed option values or CDFs in an existing field report:

  1. Drag the field report template that you would like to modify from the elements pane to the design pane.
  2. A message displays asking if you would like to position the elements in the report template at the cursor location.

  3. To retain the formatting associated with the field report template, click the No button. To overwrite the formatting associated with the field report template, click Yes.
  4. The elements display in the design pane.

  5. If you are making changes as a result of updated option values, drag the elements affected by the changed option value off of the design pane.
  6. The elements are removed from the design pane.
