Overview
Working knowledge of HTML and CSS is essential in building an attractive template. This guide explains how to create the display template.
Reference Information
The Three Templates
- The three parts of the template include the Header, Row, and Footer.
- Given that most data will be best displayed in tabular format, we recommend the use of HTML tables for your templates.
- The Header and Footer Templates are the non-repeating portions of the template and should include the opening and closing tags for your HTML table along with the other static contents such as section titles.
- The Row Template can be repeated if there is more than one row of data to display for a given student and should only contain the TR and TD tags along with the variable used to display your uploaded data.
- The column names in your data file are used as variables for the data values of each row.
- If one of your columns is labeled with the name "Date", simply enclose the title with a pair of dollar signs and include in your template where you would like the date displayed - like this: $Date$
- Note: The following may not be used as column names or variables:
default |
else |
elseif |
endif |
first |
group |
if |
implements |
interface |
last |
length |
optional |
rest |
strip |

Note: If you desire to add a clickable button or link please use this format:
<form action="/my/link/location" method="get">
<input type="submit" value="Go to my link location"/>
</form>
