Standard Master Template

The Standard Master Template contains scripting instructions to generate documents based on the specified Content Wizard and using the specified styling.

You can only view the Standard Master Template. It is intended to be an unchangeable object with a permanent interface of 4 parameters. If you require more complexity, create your own Master Template.

Standard Master Template Parameters

Parameter Required/Optional Description
ContentWizard Required/Optional Defines the Content Wizard that controls the content and structure of your document.
Brand Optional Defines the brand style applied to your document independent of the document type. By default, the Designer uses the styling stored under Corporate Design.
DocumentType Optional Defines the style applied to your document independent of the brand. By default, the Designer uses the styling stored under Corporate Design.
NonInteractive Optional Allows the document to be composed without becoming interactive. The default value is False (the document is interactive).

Document Interactivity

Document becomes interactive when its content has elements that require user input. In case of the Standard Master Template, this happens when the selected Content Wizard contains interactive elements like Selection Groups, optional Text Blocks or Sections, or when QForms have been defined in the Content Wizard for Data Fields used in Text Blocks.

These interactive elements require a user to interactively decide which elements should be added or removed or to supply values for Data Fields.

To suppress interactivity and use the default values, set the NonInteractive parameter value to True.

Recompile Standard Master Template

When you change the Data Backbone in a project, it affects the project's Master Templates. Some changes, such as renaming of the Data Backbone, require the Master Templates to be recompiled. In this case, the Master Templates, including the Standard Master Template, are marked as outdated.

After recompiling the Standard Master Template, you need to unlock and promote it to make it available for draft, acceptance, or publishing, like other Master Templates.
