# Custom Report Templates

> [HTML Version](custom-report-templates.html)

Custom report templates can be added in subdirectory “templates/module-id”. Reports based on these templates can be generated by selecting the report template under Report->Report templates.

The report templates are word files with DOCVARIABLE fields. These fields are filled on generation of the report.

Possible fields are:

- DOCVARIABLE VAR name \[unit\]: the variable with the name ‘name’ is printed. Optionally a unit can be provided in brackets, for example \[mm\]. Additionally, a format could be added like %6.3g or %6.3f, where ‘f’ always generates a fixed point output and ‘g’ generates an exponential output for large numbers. 

- DOCVARIABLE VARU name \[unit\]: the variable with the name ‘name’ plus the unit are printed. Optionally a unit can be provided in brackets, for example \[mm\].

- DOCVARIABLE TABLE tablename: A table is inserted.

- DOCVARIABLE GRAPHIC graphicName width=130 height=70: A graphic is inserted. Optionally height and width can be given in millimeters.

Regarding details for variable names, table names and graphic names please ask [support@mesys.ch](mailto:support@mesys.ch) for additional documentation.
