Before you can generate any reports, you must upload a .tpl file to the Console. This file must be created beforehand, outside the Console. This section shows how to upload a pre-existing template to make it available for report generation in Reporter.
If you need help building a template file, check out our Template examples section.
You can also build templates visually using the Template Builder — click the Template Builder button on the Templates page to open the block-based editor.
To add a template via upload:
1
Go to the Templates page and click the New Template button.
2
The Template Upload wizard will open with 3 steps: File, Config, and Review.
3
In the File step, drag your .tpl file to the drop zone (Drag file here) or click to select to browse your computer. After uploading, a preview of the file will be shown.
4
In the Config step, fill in the following information:
  • Template Name — a descriptive name to identify the template.
  • Output Format — the output format of the generated report (CSV, XML, HTML, TXT, or PDF).
5
In the Review step, check the summary of the information. You can click the edit buttons to go back and adjust any field.
6
Click Save Template to upload the template.
If anything goes wrong, an error message will appear within the form.
Only .tpl files are accepted. You cannot edit or generate .tpl files directly from Lerian Console, only upload and manage them.
