Sometimes we want to see all the working directory in one template, in Finereport reporting tool we can do so.

1. Switch working directory

Working directory in report designer means the project for which the designer works. For example, if there are three report projects A, B and C, you can change the templates under corresponding project by switching these three projects via Switch Working Directory with only one designer (instead of 3).

Select menu File > Switch Working Directory to switch working directory:

2. New working directory

You can directly select the added working directory or click Other to add new working directory, as shown below:

2.1 Local directory

To add a local directory, click Add button. Select Local Directory and select the directory path to be added in the right file directory, as shown below:

2.2 Remote server

If the working directory to be operated is not in local but in the server, you are not required to operate it on the server. As FineReport provides remote design function, you can directly take remote connection via designer. Click Add button and select Remote Server, as shown below:

For details of remote design, refer to Remote Design.
