Symptom
Template name attribute is blank in Template Box in Report Studio

Problem
Created a custom template for Report Studio. When creating a new report, Report Studio asks you which template you would like, it shows the icon for his new template correctly, but is not showing the template name.
   
Cause     
Incorrect syntax in resource.xml

Diagnosing the problem   
In the resources.xml file, you can specify the Label="IDS_LBL_NEW_REPORT" attribute to set the name of the template.
The problem is that the attribute Label should be "label". If you change it to a lowercase 'l' it works the way they want.

Solution
Following the steps described in the "Install guide for Adding Custom Report Templates for Report Studio"  - Chapter 31  page 495
http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/data/cognos/documentation/docs/en/8.4.0/ug_cra.pdf#page=495 

For changes to resource.xml :
Add a new listItem element using one of the following attributes for the custom report template:
    - label, if you do not want to translate the label into other languages
    - idsLabel, if you want to translate the label into other languages
