ODTDesignReportMacro
With XDocReport, the odt reporting is done with Open/Libre Office by inserting input field to mark the field name to replace with a value. For the report designer user it's very difficult to know which names fields it must use in the odt report. Types the input field name at hand can give some bugs because the field name is not well formmatted (don't follow the template engine syntax, is not well spelled).
Since XDocReport 0.9.5, an OOo macrois provided to help the report designer user to create odt report. This macro gives you 2 features :
- display in a dialog box fields available for the odt report :
[- preview the result of the odt report :
