Template Development Guidelines
Starting with the QAD Enterprise Applications 2010 release, the QAD standard reports included with the product use one of the following templates:
• Active_Template_Landscape —the template typically used by QAD standard reports with landscape orientation.
• Active_Template_Portrait — the template typically used by QAD standard reports with portrait orientation.
Additionally, four QAD standard templates are included:
• QAD_Standard_Template_A4_Landscape — the QAD standard template for the A4 (210 x 297 mm, or 8.27 x 11.69 inches) paper size with landscape orientation.
• QAD_Standard_Template_A4_Portrait — the QAD standard template for the A4 paper size with portrait orientation.
• QAD_Standard_Template_Letter_Landscape — the QAD standard template for the Letter (8.5 x 11 inches) paper size with landscape orientation.
• QAD_Standard_Template_Letter_Portrait — the QAD standard template for the Letter paper size with portrait orientation.
As shipped, the contents of Active_Template_Landscape are identical to QAD_Standard_Template_Letter_Landscape, and the contents of Active_Template_Portrait are identical to QAD_Standard_Template_Letter_Portrait. If template customizations are required, they can be done in the Active templates (which the QAD reports reference), and the original QAD_ templates should be kept unmodified in case any changes might need to be rolled back.
Careful management of these templates is highly recommended.
