Create the files to support the new "Triggers" report template. This template will
include a repitition trigger.
About this task
You will create four files:
- Template schema definition file: Triggers.rsd.
- Report template file: Triggers.4rt.
- Properties file: Triggers.4rt.prop.
- Image file: Triggers.4rt.png.
Before you begin:
- Ensure that you have a directory on your disk (for example,
MyReportTemplates) to hold your report template files.
You may need to configure Genero Studio to recognize the directory.
- In Genero Studio, create the project (for example,
MyTemplates.4pw) to hold the template files.
-
Create a template schema definition file () and enter the following text:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ReportSchema fileVersion="30000" gstVersion="30000" rootElementName="model">
<Trigger name="TheTrigger" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</ReportSchema>
Save the template schema definition file as Triggers.rsd
in your
report template directory.
This code creates a single trigger.
-
Create a report template file ():
-
In the Data View, click Open Schema File and
select the Triggers.rsd schema.
-
In the Report Structure, move the trigger under the Page Root.
-
Add a Word Box as a child of the trigger, and edit the text to read
"Repeat Me". The report template should look like Figure 1.
Save the report template file as Triggers.4rt
in your report
template directory.
-
Create a text file in the same directory as the
template files. Save it as Triggers.4rt.prop and enter the following
text:
tags: Triggers
label: Trigger Template
description: Template with a single trigger
-
Create an image file in the same directory as the
template files. Save it as Triggers.4rt.png.
Note: You can take a screen capture of the existing template, or copy an image
from elsewhere.
