Automatic Reports Saving to the Project Directory

[miles.nicholson]

When you define the set files for automatic reports, you can specify that you would like an excel file creating in a specific directory e.g. C:\temp\

However I would like the ability to save the outputted documents to my project directory automatically. This could be done as a system variable I suspect.

Excellent suggestion Miles!  I have my customers create a local folder called C:\Reports on each station, because this is the only way for them to share report formats and ensure that there is no way for them to over-write someone else's report on a network folder.  After the reports are created, they then have to move them to the project folder manually.  It would be nice if the report format could have a checkbox that offers to save the report to the project folder (i.e. the folder where the .WDP file resides).  It would be even better if it could be configured to save the report to a predefined subfolder inside the project folder, named REPORTS.
