Trouble shooting

Content from Tempus Serva is not displayed inside tags

  • Disable spelling/grammar
  • Take care not to edit the text inside tags
  • Select the whole tag before applying styling
  • Paste tags from notepad or other program without text styling

Subtemplates

Subtemplates can be used for special fields that support the notion.

  • Complex question

The whole sub template is injected into the tag, as if it had been normal data.

Complex questions

Supported tag names

 ${FIELDLABEL}
 ${FIELDHELP}
 ${CHOICEIMAGE}
 ${CHOICELABEL}
 ${CHOICETEXT}
 ${ANSWERLABEL}
 ${ANSWERTEXT}
 ${PICTURE}
 ${COMMENT}

Special considerations

Named styling is not supported, but can work with a workaround.

  1. Copy styled content from subtemplate
  2. Paste into main template and save file
  3. Remove content and save again
