In general, cloud user report templates and their reports function the same as system templates and reports. There are a few cases where they behave differently. All templates, system, cloud and custom, are linked to their reports. This means that changes made to the template are inherited by the linked report. This rule is true for cloud linked reports, with one addition, when a cloud template is updated in cloud, you are notified by a NEW badge on your user folders.

For example, if you run a cloud template to create a report and save it, Cloud One, the cloud template and your report, Cloud One, are saved locally in your portal. Now let’s say the cloud template has been modified by HDS customer support and a new version has been promoted to the cloud. The next time you save Cloud One, you are prompted to accept the template modifications or refuse them.
