Report Method Not Being Used When Automatic Reporting Results in Sequence

Question

We are set up to analyze and print a report after each sample in our sequence. In preparing for this, we modified one of the included Excel templates and used MassHunter Quant to create a report method. When printed manually from Quant, the report shows everything as expected. However, when using automatic analysis and reporting in our sequence, the report doesn't contain the formatting we set in the report file (peak labels on the chromatogram). Also, the graphics files we set to be deleted after report generation are not being deleted. It appears that the report file we made is not being used. Our Excel template that we used for our report file and that we set in the sequence is definitely being used. I guess my question is how does automatic analysis/reporting know which report file to use? The report file does not seem to be referenced in the data analysis method (I searched the xml file for the report file name and it wasn't there), so not sure how this works? 
 Thanks!

Hi again 
 try the last hope , 
 first try to select your reporting method in ( DA report template ) , the sequence accept it but i don't know if it will success to print , 
 you may try it 
 the second thing if the first failed ,then try to edit your report template in ( report builder ) software instead of applying post report process actions , 
 you may get a better options 
 
 you can find the same graphic options like peak labeling with name or other parameters , you can apply labeling on TIC ,, etc 
 if you are familiar with report builder it will become very easy for you
