Upgrade Reports Wand Administrator Templates
This tool upgrades any Reports Wand administrator templates created in prior versions of Reports Wand 5 to be compatible with the latest version. The upgrade is required to ensure new enhanced functionality is correctly catered for in the administrator template.
Only run the upgrade once
If you have successfully upgraded a Reports Wand administrator template, and mistakenly click Upgrade again, the process will attempt to upgrade any existing report definitions from version 4 to version 5. This can result in report definition names being updated. A confirmation message will display before allowing this to happen.
First, open an existing Reports Wand administrator template in Excel.
Click the Upgrade button.
A dialog will appear explaining the process, and asking if you want to continue:
Click Yes to continue, or No to exit without upgrading any reports.
The upgrade process will insert new required columns into the administrator template. No report definition information will be modified. A message will display to inform you that the process has completed.
Below are a list of new columns and the Reports Wand version that they were introduced.
