Configuring Style Intelligence

We will start by configuring Style Intelligence to use the sample data provided with the installation.

Follow the steps below:

1. Launch the Report Designer from the Windows Start menu. (It is located in the ‘Style Intelligence’ folder.)

If this is the very first time you have used Report Designer, you will see a dialog box that asks you to specify the location of the registry files. Dismiss this dialog box, and continue with the steps below.

2. In the Report Designer window, Select ‘Configure’ from the ‘File’ menu. This opens the ‘Designer Configuration’ dialog box.
3. Select the Registry tab.
4. Select the ‘Local Repository’ option.
5. Click the ‘Select Registry Directory’ button. This opens the ‘Registry Directory’ dialog box.
6. Navigate to the following directory: {Installation Root}/examples/docExamples/datasource
7. Click the ‘Open’ button to select this directory as the registry. The ‘Query Registry’, ‘Data Source Registry’, and ‘Style Report Library’ fields in the ‘Designer Configuration’ dialog box will be automatically populated with the appropriate registry file locations.
8. Click ‘OK’ to close the ‘Designer Configuration’ dialog box.

You have now completed configuring Style Intelligence to use the registry files for the samples in this guide.
