The following zip file contains both the template and data mapping configuration that are used
to generate the standard template report: http://help.objectiflune.com/en/archive/report-
template.zip.
Generating output from the Designer
Output can be generated directly from the Designer; see "Generating Print output" on page956,
"Generating Email output" on page973 and "Generating Web output" on page981.
To test a template first, select Context > Preflight. Preflights executes the template without
actually producing output and it displays any issues once it's done (see also: "Testing scripts"
on page632).
Sending files to Workflow
Workflow can generate output from a template as well. For this, the template has to be sent to
Workflow.
The Send to Workflow dialog sends templates, Data Mapping Configurations and print presets
to the Workflow server, or saves them as a package file. Print presets make it possible to do
such things as filtering and sorting records, grouping documents and splitting the print jobs into
smaller print jobs, as well as the more standard selection of printing options, such as binding,
OMR markings and the like. See "Job Creation Presets" on page840 and "Output Creation
Settings" on page850 for more details.
To send one or more templates to Workflow:
1.
Select File > Send to Workflow.
2. Select the template to send. By default the currently active template is listed. Click
Browse to select another template. You may select more than one template in the
Browse dialog, and each of them is sent to Workflow (or added to a package file). A
template file has the extension .OL-template.
3. Select the Data Mapping Configuration to send. By default the current configuration is
listed. Click Browse to select another configuration. You may select more than one
configuration file in the Browse dialog, and each of them is sent to Workflow (or added to
a package file). A Data Mapping Configuration file has the extension .OL-datamapper.
4.
Use the drop-down to select a Job Creation Preset to send. Click Browse to select a
preset that is not in the default location for presets. A Job Creation Preset file has the
extension .OL-jobpreset.
