Export Template Report wizard

The Export Template Report wizard is opened through the menu: File > Export report.

It contains the following options:

• File Name: Enter the desired file name for the template report.

• Format: Select PDF or XML.

Click Next to go to the next set of options:

• Generate Thumbnails: The generated thumbnail images will be included in the PDF file. When exporting an XML report, the thumbnails will be saved in the same folder as the XML, in a subfolder named Thumbnails.

  • Sections (first page): Save the first page of each section as a thumbnail image.

  • Image resources: Save all image resources as thumbnail images.

• PDF Options:
  

  • Standard: The standard PDF report contains a summary of the template with an overview of all the settings and resources that are used in the template: media, master pages, contexts, sections, images, scripts, etc. The file properties are included as well (see File Properties dialog). The report has a standard layout.

  • Custom: To create a custom PDF report, you need two files:

    • Template: A template design with the desired layout and variable data. This .OL-TEMPLATE file has to be made in the Designer.

    • DataMapper: A data mapping configuration that provides the variable data. This .OL-datamapper file has to be made in the DataMapper module, using the standard XML template report as data sample.

      Note: The DataMapper is included only in the Professional and Enterprise editions of OL Connect.

    Tip: The template and data mapping configuration that are used to generate the standard template report can serve as examples. They are available online: see template-report-resources.zip.
