Step 4 Click Next.

Deleting a Custom Template
You can delete a custom report template for Inventory.
Only users with System Administrator privileges can delete (but not edit) any Public or Private templates
created by any user. This privilege is given to the System Administrator to clean up the system when a
owner of a template has ceased to exist within the system.
View the Permission Report (Common Services > Server > Reports) to check whether you have the
required privileges to perform this task.
Note If you delete a template, any job created with the template will fail.
To delete a custom report template:
Step 1 Select Resource Manager Essentials > Reports > Custom Report Templates.
The custom templates dialog box appears with a list of custom templates.
Step 2 Select the required custom template. You can select one or more custom templates to delete.
Step 3 Click Delete.
A message appears prompting you to confirm the deletion.
If you confirm the deletion, the template is deleted and will not appear in the Inventory custom report
template dialog box.
Understanding Template Rules Evaluation
This section helps you understand how the template rules are evaluated by RME:
• Rules are evaluated from 1to n (left to right).
• The rules with AND operators will be evaluated first and then the OR operator will be applied on
the AND operator results.
