Report items can be located in any folder (directory) that is visible to the Windows file system. This includes local folders on the computer where you installed Dispatch, shared network folders or a folder contained in cloud storage like Box, Dropbox, Google Drive or Microsoft's OneDrive.
The default location is a public local folder on the computer where Dispatch has been installed. Report files can therefore be shared by multiple user accounts on that computer. The default location is:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\CanScale\Dispatch 3.2\Database driver\Reports
Database driver is identifier for the current database.
The ability to store Report files on network or cloud storage is particularly useful when you want multiple users want to share Reports including Report layout and print formatting.
For example, when using a network database server, it makes sense to store Report files in a shared folder on the computer that is running the database server so that all users are using the same Reports.
Modifying the Report files location
First, copy the appropriate report files from the default folder to the folder you would like to use. This must be done manually using Windows Explorer or any other tool capable of copy the files.
Then, to modify the location of Report files, go to Settings > Data Source > Connection. In the Folders group, modify the Report folder property to identify the new location of the Report files.
