Interface templates

Export templates

Export templates are binary files uploaded to the template, containing special tags where the content from Tempus Serva fields should be inserted. Transformation of tables, files etc. is done automatically. An example for a Word report is found here: Tutorial/Word_documents_from_templates

DOCX / Word limitations

Content can inserted most places in the document, except for the following

  • Page header and footers
  • Document metadata

Due to Microsoft Word everchanging document format, it is not possible to preserve the all styling of text inserted into drawing building blocks (textareas,circles etc.).

  • Normal formatting will be preserved
  • Special properties like angle will be lost

PDF templates

PDF templates a basically Word templates transformed to PDF afterwards. To build PDF's just upload a normal docx template, and change the type to PDF after upload.
