Passing Report name as Report Title

Found something interesting question here posted by Haresh.

Question :Using Desktop Publisher for Word and a standalone BIP Enterprise version, is it possible to pass the report name to the rtf template so that it could be used as the report title?

This feature would be useful when there are multiple reports (different names and slightly different queries/criteria) that use the same templates. We could then dynamically change the report title based on the report name.

Solution

Do not sure if there is any simple way to print report name in rtf template.
There is a work around. Follow below steps...

1>create parameter called Report_Name in every report
2>put default value for that parameter as report name (Title)
3>select parameter type as Hidden

Now in rtf template.

<?param@begin:Report_Name?>
<?$Report_Name?>

Done......
