Configuring the Style Sheet File

The format for HTML reports is determined in part from the style sheet file. The style sheet uses XSLT to transform the raw XML report document into HTML. The XSLT file is used to determine various formatting elements of the report including headers, colors, borders, and other formatting. There are several good online resources to obtain information about XSLT. A search of XSLT or Extensible Stylesheet Language should yield some good starting points.

This file must be stored in the GRP (also known as STORAGE) service so it can be accessed by any client running reports. The location for the style sheet file is stored in the Report Module configuration. For more information on configuring the Report Module, see Configuring the Report Module.

By default, all reports use the same style sheet file which is identified in the Report Module configuration. Typically, this file (stylesheet.xslt) lives in SITE.STORAGE\Reporter\Template\. Additionally, report-specific style sheets can be configured to override the default.
