Updating Custom Skeleton by Importing

 

After upgrading you will need to update your custom skeletons. The easiest way to do this is to import them. Using this technique will require you to reapply the formatting to your custom skeletons after you import them. Alternately, you may restructure your custom skeletons and add the new addendum to them. This directory will demonstrate the former method.

 

1.       Close all reports (on your workstation).

2.       Open a brand new report based on our default skeleton for that form type (e.g., UAR_3x5).

3.       Click FILE – IMPORT – BROWSE

a)      In the right hand column under Directories, double click on the two dots [..]

i)                    Double click on SKELS

ii)                   Double click on the form type (e.g., ua2skel).

b)      In the left hand column under Files,

i)                    Write down the name of your custom skeleton

ii)                   Double click on your custom skeleton

c)      Click SELECT ALL

d)      Click OK.  This will import the text from your custom skeleton.  Unfortunately, you will lose its formatting.

e)      Manually reapply the formatting of your custom skeleton.

f)       Click FILE – SAVE SKEL

g)      Enter the name of your skeleton as you recorded it from above.

h)      Click OK, OK

i)        Click YES to overwrite

4.       Close the report

5.       You can now open reports based on your updated custom skeleton.
