DefaultThemePart Property

Version: Available or changed with runtime version 18.0.

Sets the default theme part, defined as a layout with the Theme subtype, that should be used for the Word layouts of this report.

Applies to

• Report

APPLIES TO: Business Central 2026 release wave 2 and later

Remarks

DefaultThemePart sets the theme part for the Word layouts of the report that have SubType = Body. The value is the name of a layout declared in the rendering section of the report, in the same way as the DefaultRenderingLayout property.

The referenced layout must be a Word layout that has SubType = Theme, and it must point to a .dotx template file. If it references a layout that has another type or subtype, the compiler reports an error.

Use this property when all Body Word layouts in the report share the same fonts, colors, and styles. To set the theme for a single layout, use the ThemePart property on that layout.

Example

The following example gives both Body layouts of the report the same theme, without repeating the reference on each layout.

report 50103 "Customer List Branded"
{
    ApplicationArea = All;
    UsageCategory = ReportsAndAnalysis;
    DefaultRenderingLayout = ShortBody;
    DefaultThemePart = CorporateTheme;

    dataset
    {
        dataitem(Customer; Customer)
        {
            column(Name; Name)
            {
            }
        }
    }

    rendering
    {
        layout(ShortBody)
        {
            Type = Word;
            SubType = Body;
            LayoutFile = 'Reports/Layouts/ShortBody.docx';
        }
        layout(DetailedBody)
        {
            Type = Word;
            SubType = Body;
            LayoutFile = 'Reports/Layouts/DetailedBody.docx';
        }
        layout(CorporateTheme)
        {
            Type = Word;
            SubType = Theme;
            LayoutFile = 'Reports/Layouts/CorporateTheme.dotx';
        }
    }
}
