Understanding applet templates
A template is a preformatted document that an eSuite applet can load at run time. A template typically provides an end user with a quick and easy way of entering data in a form. The eSuite Template Builder allows you to create spreadsheet, scheduler, chart, presentation graphics, and word processor templates and make them available to end users.
How you do this
- Download the eSuite DevPack: because of Java security
requirements, you must run the eSuite Template Builder locally
to save the files that it produces.
- Open the Template Builder by executing the batch file tbuilder.bat in the
eSuite devtest directory.
- From the Template Builder File menu, select New Sheet, New WP Document,
New Presentation, New Chart, or New Project Schedule to create
a template from scratch, or select Open to edit an existing template.
- Edit the document that the Template
Builder displays. An icon bar
(the InfoCenter) is displayed
immediately below the document. Use the options that the InfoCenter
provides to edit the document.
- Choose File - Save from the Template Builder menu to save the document
as a template.
- Choose File - Exit to close the Template Builder.
- Create an HTML page that instantiates your template.
