The Genovo static template sections are different to the core wizard sections you'll find in the Report Builder in that they do not have any steps and their content is completely made up of boilerplate content. As a result, it is likely that you will need to make more edits to the content of the section within the Report Editor than you would had the content been generated by a wizard section. However, they can still prove to be a very useful and easy way to add your own custom content into a report.
How do I know if a section is a Genovo static template?
You will know if a section is a Genovo static template section because:
- *STATIC TEMPLATE* will be appended to the section name in the Report Builder.
- It won’t have a 'Wizard' icon to the right of the section name.
Can I edit the boilerplate content of a static template section?
Yes you can and it's super easy! And it is this functionality that still makes static template sections a very powerful way of customising the boilerplate content of your reports to reflect your personal preferences and advice service.
As with any section, you can edit the boilerplate content of a static template section via the Report Content Manager. Within the Report Content Manager, you will notice that the content of a static template section is broken down into a number of snippets in the usual way.
How do I add a static template section into a report?
Adding a static template section is just the same as adding any other section. Simply select the static template section from the 'Available sections' drop down in the Report Builder and use the drag and drop grab handles to position the section where you want the content to come out in your report.
On opening the report in the Report Editor, both Writer and Reader users can edit the content of any static template sections and add images (just like they would in Word) to reflect the client's individual circumstances and the recommendations made.
Can static template sections be used in the Report Template Builder?
Yes they can in just the same way as they can be used in the Report Builder.
