Open the Report Builder application and in the Reports Home pane, expand the Teamcenter Reports node.
From the Teamcenter Reports list, select Accountability Check Report.
In the right panel, click the Report Data tab.
From the Selected Stylesheets section, select the default stylesheet and click .
Click Modify.
Run an accountability check including report generation.
Find the XML file in the your-TMP-folder\user\2TierTransientVolume folder.
Use this XML file to help you customize the stylesheet and then give it a unique name (for example, my_acc_chk_rpt_excel.xsl).
Click and in the Import Stylesheet dialog box, from the Dataset Type list, select MSExcel.
Browse to the custom stylesheet you want to use and click OK.
From the Defined Stylesheets list, select the custom stylesheet and click to add it to the Selected Stylesheets list.
