Using templates with ad-hoc reports
You can apply a template to Ad-hoc reports, either during or after their creation. Which you do, is partly dependent on how you create the Ad-hoc report.
See Ad-hoc reports.
You can change a template which has been applied during creation of a report.
To apply a template to an Ad-hoc report during its creation, use the New Ad-hoc Report dialog.
See Creating an Ad-hoc report from the ribbon.
To apply or change a template after creating an Ad-hoc report, use the Options dialog.
