Install Custom Reports in EMS Desktop Client

If your organization has a custom-developed report to deploy, there are two methods:

  • EMS Desktop Client Web Deploy

If you use an EMS Custom Report with v44.1 and later, contact EMS Support or your consultant to get a new DLL file.

This change also applies to the Glance DLL, TMS, Polycom, and Custom Badges.
