Builder

  • Node names must not be blank, must not contain spaces, and must not be a number.
  • CSS classes specified can either be the system defined classes, or you can create your own CSS classes and include them in the <style> tag on the Template
  • The formula can refer to other cells within the section using the following syntax:
  • [row#,column#]

Example

[1,1]+[1,2]
  • The formula can refer to fields in other sections using the following syntax:
  • [@section.yoursectionname.id@_rowname_colname]

Example:

=[@section.InternalFunding.id@_Total_Amount]/[@section.TotalFunding.id@_Total_Amount]*100

Template

Within the XML Field template you can pull the sections you have created using the following syntax:

  • @section.sectionname@

Example

 <table>
    <tr><td>Revenue</td></tr>
    <tr><td>@section.Revenue@</td></tr>
    <tr><td><br>Expenses</td></tr>
    <tr><td>@section.Expenses@</td></tr>
 </table>
