It is simple to apply a custom design to a series of InstantAtlas reports that you have published, even if the map and indicator data in each report is different. All you need to do is replace the existing config.xml file of the dynamic report you want to change with the config.xml file you have customised using the Designer.

 However, it is very important to realise that the configuration file is template-specific. You can only apply the same config.xml file to multiple dynamic reports if they were published using the same template.

For example, a series of dynamic reports published using the Single Map (HTML Edition) v6.10.0 template can share the same config.xml file. But applying this config.xml file to a dynamic report published using, for example, a Double Map v6.10.0 template is not supported and will almost certainly cause the report to malfunction.

We also do not recommend re-using a config.xml file between version changes e.g. applying a version 6.9.2 config.xml file to a 6.10.0 report. It might appear as if the report still works fine, however, you will not be able to find configuration settings which are necessary for the new functionality of the 6.10.0 report.

If you are using the atlas-launch.html file to open a locally saved report, please ensure you copy the confix.xml file as well as the associates config-vars.xml.js file over into the new report folder. If the config-vars.xml.js file does not exist you can create it by opening and resaving the config.xml file using the InstantAtlas Designer version 6.12.0.
