RTF and HTML Report Presentation Templates

PowerDesigner provides a set of predefined RTF and HTML presentation templates to style reports in these formats. You can use these templates and their associated files as a basis to create your own presentation templates. These RTF presentation templates are stored in the Resource Files\RTF Report Templates folder.

The following GTL variables are available to these templates:

Variable	Description
%DATE%	Report date defined in report property sheet.
%TIME%	Report generation time.
%MODELNAME%	Model name of a report section.
%MODELCODE%	Model code of a report section.
%MODULE%	Module name of a report section.

%VERSION%	Report version defined in report property sheet.
%SUMMARY%	Report summary defined in report property sheet.
%COMPANY%	Company name (Sybase, Quest).
%REPORTCONTENT%	[RTF only] Report insertion point in the RTF presentation template. If this variable is not defined, the report is appended at the end of the RTF presentation template.
%NEXT%	[HTML only] URL of the Next page of the home page.
%NEXTLABEL%	[HTML only] Name of the Next page of the home page.

RTF Presentation Templates
An RTF presentation template file has an .RTF extension and allows you to define the header, footer, title page, table of contents, and general style of your RTF report. You can insert pictures, page borders and variables in an RTF presentation template.
HTML Presentation Templates
An HTML presentation template file has an .HTMLTPL extension and allows you to define the header, footer, home page, and style sheet (for font, color, background, size, margin, and alignment) for your HTML report. The formatting defined in your style sheet will override any defined in the Report Wizard or Report Editor.
