[quote=LilianWong]Hi user,
Thanks for your post. For having your own template to create tables of parent, attributes, operation…, there are 2 ways:
- 
(easier) create a new template and copy all template content you want to the new template file. 
- 
(better on maintenance) create sub-templates for each template files, then change all template file to refer to its sub-template file. And create the new template to refer to the sub-templates. 
** Sub-template (stored inside VPSuite/resources/Report/Default/Subtemplate folder) is used to be referred by a template for reduce the “content” of template.
e.g. both the Class and Actor has attribute(s) as children.
There are 2 Attributes.xml in Class’s and Actor’s template folder. However, the 2 Attributes.xml’s content should be equals.
The 2 Attributes.xml refer to one sub-template of Attributes, you just need to change the sub-template of Attributes to change content of both Attributes in Class and Actor.
For example, if you want to have a new template to generate attributes and operations of a class in the report:
I) open VPSuite/resources/Report/Default/Subtemplate folder
II) create sub-templates “Attributes.xml” and "Operations.xml"
III) edit the sub-templates content to fit your needs
IV) open VPSuite/resources/Report/Default/Class folder
V) edit the template “Attributes.xml” and “Operations.xml” to refer to the corresponding sub-template
For example, for the “Attributes.xml”:
VI) create your own template, say “AttributesAndOperations.xml”, and refer it to the sub-templates
	
	
		
		
	
After these, when you drag the template “AttributesAndOperations” to the report in Report Writer, you will get the combined contents of “Attributes.xml” + “Operations.xml”.

Hope these help. If there is any further inquiry, please feel free to contact me.

for the customizing template, the link helps a lot.
i choose the first method :
in the default/class folder, i create a MyTemplate.xml with all i want to use :
