Content Placeholder¶
Marks the region of a template that a report fills in.
Layout components · element type content-placeholder
Options¶
| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Empty | Identifies this placeholder. Required when a template has more than one, so each region can be addressed separately |
Notes¶
- A template supplies the fixed parts of a page — letterhead, footer, framing — and a placeholder marks where the report's own content belongs. Reports built on that template drop their content into it
- Give every placeholder a Name as soon as a template has more than one. Document Merge and the report editor both reference them by name
- Placeholders cannot be deleted from a report — they belong to the template. Edit the template to change them
