The listing is based on the following template:
The template has the following components:
Part | Description |
|---|---|
Header | The header at the top of the template prints the contract information and the title of the listing. It has the following template objects: dashed lines (text objects), texts ("Mark", "Profile", etc. (text objects) and data from the product: project number and name (value field objects). |
Row | The row components define the listing of steel beams and has value fields that get the type, count, length and weight of the selected objects. Similar objects in the database are combined in the output by default, but if you need to separate those objects, they can be output as distinct rows. |
Page footer | The page footer contains a value field producing the total sum of weights of all processed steel beams (value field) and the text "Total for" and dashed lines (text objects). |
The references to the product data are made by using global attributes in value fields.
