Remember that Templates Lists for VTube-STEP and VTube-LASER Are Different

Remember that VTube-STEP and VTube-LASER keep separate lists of templates intentionally. They can both share templates, but if you want a report in both VTube modes, then you will need to import the same template into both the STEP and LASER Report menus. If you do this, then VTube will ask if you want to overwrite the template file during the second import. This is ok to do - because the template file is identical for both modes. If this is the case, then press "Continue" during the second import when the warning message appears.

Steps to CREATE Report Templates files

Note: If you are only importing a template file, then skip to the next section.

Edit and Save a New Template File The easiest way to start a new template is to use one the existing templates to create a new template. Using a File Explorer, go to the "C:\Users\Public\Documents\VTube\config\report" folder and copy one of the template files to another folder. VTube will start the import from the "\My documents\VTube" folder - so it works well to copy the file there. RENAME the template filename. Be sure to give it a filename that is not already in the template list. Always give the new file a filename extension of ".html". Edit that template in an editor like Notepad+ so that it contains the items you want in a report. Save the edits to the new html file.
