Templates

General

Every template of an HTML Report is an HTML Document; each of these HTML Documents can have standard, static content (text, images, a table of contents etc. - every content that is supported by HTML); wherever you want Mail & Deploy to add data to the report document dynamically (e.g. a table from a Datasource), you can reference an Element within the template; this reference will be replaced by the actual content of the element when a report document is created from the report.

Properties

Every template has the following properties:

Managing Templates

Templates can me modified by opening the report in the Report Designer: To create a new template or import an existing HTML Document as a template, right-click the Templates folder in the content explorer and choose New Template or Import Template. To edit the contents of a template, double-click the template item in the content explorer. To delete an existing template, right-click the template item in the content explorer and click Delete Template.

Single-Template Operation

If the HTML Report has only one template, that template will always be used when a report document is created from the report. In that case, the Template Name(s) property of the report can be left empty.

Multi-Template Operation

Mail & Deploy supports multiple templates per HTML Report; that means that Mail & Deploy can pick the HTML template to use at runtime, based on an Expression.
