HTML report templates

HTML reports use either the default template, which is supplied, or a user-defined template to specify the layout and content of the report.

Note: Changing the default HTML report template will also change the default template format for all Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint reports.

An HTML report template consists of a set of files controlling the layout and contents of the report. Each file within the template controls a specific aspect of the report.

Autodesk has defined a set of custom variables that the Report Wizard automatically replaces with the appropriate data when generating a report. These HTML report template variables are used in a similar way to HTML tags.

Note: Knowledge of HTML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is necessary to modify HTML report templates.
