Designing a Report - Templates

Designing a Report - Templates

Created date: 8 Aug 2024 I Updated by: Emma Camacho

Templates

It is possible to have more templates per Report.

Templates of template-based reports can be used in three different ways: 

One single template: in this case you can leave the Template Name(s) property of the template-based report empty because Mail & Deploy will also use that single template that exists to create the report document. 

Picks a single template from multiple existing templates: in this case the Template Name(s) property of the template-based report must return the name of the template from which to create the report document.  For example, default_EN, default_DE, default_ES

Combine multiple templates: in this case the Template Name(s) property of the template-based report must return a list of all the names of the templates in the order in which to combine them to create the report document. Merge on-the-fly to give each recipient the content he/she wants.

In the example below, the Report has several templates and the Report is generated dynamically concatenating the templates defined in the Template Name(s) Property.
