There can be several briefing booklet templates saved as .tpl files in the C:\ProgramData\QPR Software\QPR 2019\2019.1\Servers\Templates\WAS\Booklet\Booklets folder. All .tpl files will appear as optional templates in the template selection of the Properties tab of the Manage Briefing Booklets view.
A briefing booklet template is an html file with some extension tags. To construct your own template, use your favorite html editor or a regular text editor. The extension tags allow you to embed booklet specific data into your template. The briefing booklet template's extension tags are as follows:
<#author_email> |
Insert booklet author's e-mail address. |
<#description> |
Insert booklet description. |
<#isfirstpage true="true value" false="false value"> |
If the first page of a briefing booklet is currently open, this tag will appear as a value of truth ("true value"). Otherwise the tag will be replaced with a value of false ("false value"). If the tag is inserted into a booklet page template, it will be replaced with a value of truth or false depending on the page holding the tag: is it the first page or not? The true and false options can be set to anything. For example setting the truth to be "YES" and false to be "NO": <#isfirstpage true="YES" false="NO"> |
<#islastpage true="true value" false="false value"> |
If the last page of a briefing booklet is currently open, this tag will appear as a value of truth ("true value"). Otherwise the tag will be replaced with a value of false ("false value"). If the tag is inserted into a booklet page template, it will be replaced with a value of truth or false depending on the page holding the tag: is it the last page or not? The true and false options can be set to anything. For example setting the truth to be "YES" and false to be "NO": <#islastpage true="YES" false="NO"> |
