Customize/Create template

The template in the print report determines the formatting of the print file.

If you have imported the default template DefaultTemplate from Aeneis in a created print report (see chapter Import default template with styles), you can customize or replace this template.

If there is no template in the print report yet, you can create a new file to import as a print template for the report.

  • The SystemAdministration is open

  • Print report is created to which a template is to be assigned

  1. Download the DefaultTemplate.odt template in the SystemAdministration and adjust the formats accordingly. Alternatively, you can use LibreOffice to create a new document or open an existing template.
