Use Shared Settings

Use Shared Settings to make sure you and your colleagues use the same Table Layouts, Slide Library, and VBA macros. Each user works with an up-to-date local copy of the shared settings files, including when using a laptop away from the office.

Create a shared Layout Database​

  1. Create a new folder on a shared network drive that all OfficeReports users in your organization can access, for example .\OfficeReports.
  2. On the PC that contains the definitions you want everyone to use, click Set path to the Shared Settings folder.
  3. Select the empty folder you created.
  4. On each PC that should use these settings, click Set path to the Shared Settings folder.
  5. Select the same folder, which is now no longer empty.

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