Hi Isma,

I assume you are talking about BIRT reports. In Actuate 10, you can right-click on 'styles' in report outline, then 'Use CSS'. This allows you to point at a CSS file that is maintained externally from the reports, and you can have a design-time location, and run-time URL for the CSS for deployment.

In Actuate 9 or 10, you could also use 'Import CSS' into a BIRT Library. Then all the reports that use that shared style would get updated.

The CSS file you create can have style names that you can select in the report... or it is usually better to create styles that conform to the predefined report element names, like 'table-detail', 'table-footer' etc. You can see all the available predefined style names by selecting 'New Style', and looking in the drop-down on the General tab.
