Creating a report using the template macro allows you to have one report that a user can fill out but has the functionality to create multiple reports from one report. Excluding or including certain content for each report created.

The Report will be created as a child page of the report page and has email functionality to email a PDF copy to recipients added with in the template macro.

Step 1

create a new page in the desired space that you want your report to be located.

Step 2

You need to fill your page up with any relevant information that you want to include in ur report. In this one i have added some Text editors and a trend window. You must include a template macro. The location of the macro does not matter but i would recommend placing it at the top of your page.

Step 4

Delete any content thats default in the macro using the delete icon.
Its now time to create different versions of your report.
You need to decide how many versions of the report you want to be created.
In this example we are going to create "internal and external"

Type internal and click add

Step 5

You need to add a reference tag to the report. this is going to reference the other macros and decide weather its included in this report.
So here were configuring the internal so Im going to use a tag called internal. Any name is usable but it makes it easier to reference the report type.

This will link the tag to the report
