ACTUAL BEHAVIOR

If a report is designed with multiple layouts in BIP, P6 will only return the layout set as the Default Layout regardless of the Template selected.
Note: This only occurs if the Delivery Type selected in P6 is set to File.
The report uses the correct layout if Delivery Type is set to Email.


EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

The report uses the selected layout.

STEPS

The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:

  1. In BIP Click Catalog Folders under Browse/Manage...Expand Reports and pick a report with multiple layouts.
  2. Click Edit under the report.
  3. In upper right corner of screen, chose View a List.
  4. Under Default Layout, set one of the layouts as default.
  5. Run the same report in P6 Web > Reports selecting a different layout in the Template drop down and set the Delivery Type to File.
  6. Note the layout returned in the report is the Default Layout not the one selected in the Template drop down.
