A template is a page of the report and consists of one or more elements, such as text, image, diagram, table, alarm table and compliant list. Using the Graphic Editor you can arbitrarily position, combine and parameterize the different elements on a template page. You can then save templates, repeatedly edit them, and compile them into sequences. The templates and sequences can be used to generate nonrecurring reports (without saving) or recurring reports.
