Create a copy of the HTML template for your particular slreportgen.report class and save it with the name myTemplate in the mytemplates folder. This example uses the slreportgen.report.Reporter class, but the process is the same for any createTemplate method.

template = slreportgen.report.Reporter.createTemplate ...
     ("mytemplates/myTemplate","html");

After you modify the template, you can use it by setting the TemplateSrc property of a reporter to the path of the template file.
