Structure and syntax

The structure of the tags in the HTML template are

  • {header}
  • {tablename}
  • {pageselector}
  • {default_start}
    • {default_name}
    • {default_value}
    • {default_help}
  • {default_end}
  • {defaultField}
  • {footer}

You may also add additional tags for special fields:

  • "{" + [field systemname] + "_name}"
  • "{" + [field systemname] + "_value}"
  • "{" + [field systemname] + "_help}"

Template handling

Templates are injected with values from the current record like this

  1. For each field
    1. Try to inject [system fieldname] + [prefix]
    2. If failed
      • Copy content from {default_start} to {default_end}
      • Inject values into content copy
      • Inject content copy into {defaultField}
  2. Inject the form page selector into {pageselector}
    1. If failed: Ignore

Missing values for default_XXX tags wil automatically get appended to the template.
