Manage Templates
To add a template, download an existing one or delete one from LocalMaps, click Manage Templates.
Add a template
- Click Add Template. Select a file to add as a template. The template that you upload could be:
- Simple: a basic template authored in Microsoft Word. This could have your organisations banner, logo and disclaimer or it could be left blank. See here for an example.
- Dynamic: This type of report template is again authored in Microsoft Word but can include placeholders with specific syntax that the LocalMaps reporting engine understands. When you then generate a report, LocalMaps replace your placeholders with real values and you will get a nice printable document back. See herefor an example.
2. Navigate to the file location of your Report Template. Select and upload. The template name will then appear in the list of templates.
Download a template
If you would like to modify an existing template e.g the default LocalMaps template that is included in your installation, you can download it. To do this, click Download, make your edits and re-upload using the above method.
Delete a template
To delete a template, click the corresponding Delete button. This will remove the template from the list and it will no longer be an option to select from the Report Templates drop down menu when adding a report.
