Inserting Item Lists in Word
Item lists that belong to a Proliance document are best
printed as tables. As with any other field, their corresponding XML Elements
need to be inserted between the start and end tags of the <DocumentData>
element.
The XML Elements corresponding to item lists contain child
elements that must also be included in your layout. To ensure that your
document is structured according to the schema, turn on the List
only child elements of current element option in the XML Structure Task Pane. This will make it easier to determine which elements can be
inserted and where they can be inserted.
Example
An RFI document contains an item list of Categories. You
can open the schema defined in Meridian.CPL.Office Management.WorkspaceRFIService.RFIDocument.xsd
to view the following:
- The Categories item
list is represented in XML by the element <Categories>.
- This element contains
a <CategoriesRow> element,
which corresponds to an individual item in the list.
- This element in turn
contains the elements representing the fields for the item, e.g. <Category_Code>
and <Category_Description>.
- To print the complete
list of Categories for an RFI document, insert the <Categories>
element somewhere within the <DocumentData>
element. Within the <Categories>
element, create a table to display the item list, and apply the <CategoriesRow> element to the
last row of the table. Finally, insert into the individual cells of the
last row of the table (within the <CategoriesRow> element’s row)
the elements representing the various fields that you want to print.
