Shared Settings (Layout, Slide Library and VBA Macros)

You can make sure you and your colleagues always use the same Table Layouts, Slide Library and VBA macros by using 'Shared Settings'. With this setup, all users will always work using the exact same layout definitions by have an up-to-date local copy of all the settings-files. This also works for people using a laptop when they are not at the office.

Do the following to create a 'shared' Layout Database:

1. On a shared network drive, which all OfficeReports users in the organization have access to, please create a new folder, e.g. “.\OfficeReports”

2. On the PC containing the definitions you want everybody to use, please click the "Set path to the Shared Settings folder" button and choose the created empty folder.

3. Now, on each machine you want to use these settings, click the "Set path to the Shared Settings folder" button and choose this same folder, which is not empty anymore.

   

   With this setup, all users will always have an up-to-date local copy of the Layout database, the Slide Library and the macro files.
