====Reusing Report Code====

You can re-use a single report Python script for multiple different reports at different time-ranges (for instance, a **Daily**, **Morning** and **Afternoon** version of the same report), without having to duplicate your code.

===Setting Up Your New Report===

You'll still need to create the report folder as if you were making a full new report - this includes making an **info.txt** file containing key information about the report such as name, time and duration.

However, instead of creating a 'report.py' file, you'll instead create a '<foldername>.rebrand' file. For example, if your folder was called 'shift_summary', you'd create a file called 'shift_summary.rebrand'.

The file should contain the name of the report folder that you want to base your report on.

===Example===

Let's say we have the 'Daily Summary Report' in a folder called **daily_summary**.

If we wanted to offer a 12-hour version of the same report, we could create a new folder called '12_hour_summary', and give it an **info.txt** file containing its updated name, start time and 12 (rather than 24) hour length.

Then we'd have a '12_hour_summary.rebrand' file containing just the text 'daily_summary'.
