Edit reports
It is possible to edit a report via tool Multi Report Generator (m122). Just right click on the report you want to edit and click Edit report template:

In case you open a report direct via Multi Report Generate (m122), always the selected report will be opened. using the Template editor. This way an overwrite will be avoided in case a report having the same name stored in several folders will be overwritten (model folder - ts folder - system folder).
