A Note on REPORTER's File Formats

Upgraded Templates and Reports

With the release of REPORTER 20.0, new file formats have been introduced for Templates and Reports. These formats use the .ortx and .orrx file extensions respectively, and replace the older .ort and .orr formats (now marked as "[LEGACY]").

Our new file formats are similar in structure (but not identical) to the Office Open XML format; essentially a ZIP archive containing various XML files and additional multimedia content. 

The reasons behind these changes are twofold: 

1. To improve our support for the handling of multimedia content (like MP4 and GLB) in REPORTER
2. To produce a format that is ready-for-use with our new online Report Viewer. 

No changes to your existing workflows should be necessary. The new file formats should perform as direct replacements for their older counterparts.
