Apply a New Report Template to a Project or Activity Center

The Project Center Server uses a default report template named standardreport.xlsx for all projects on the server. However, you can override the default report template for individual projects and activity centers. Perform the following steps to select a new template style for formatting Project Center reports and apply it to a specific project or activity center.

You must be a Project Center administrator to perform this procedure.

You can also use custom report templates in Project Center. See Configure Project Center to Use Specialized Report Templates in Activity Centers
