To assign a program rubric see Settings > Rubrics
The format of a program report can be configured to provide a customized 'look-and-feel' using a template.
You can assign the Website or PDF template to be used for all programs by using the Edit link and setting the template as Active.
Website templates have a .xtm extension. PDF templates have a .xtf extension. Both can be provided by Concord as a professional service or customer developed.
Note: Template development requires knowledge of HTML and XSL. A design guideline document is available from Concord on request.
1.Click the Website or PDF Template Upload link
2.Browse for a template file
3.Edit the template name as appropriate
4.Click Submit
The template name may be changed later if required by using the Edit link.
To remove a template from the system, use the Delete link. If the template is already assigned to a standard, it will be replaced by the system default website template.
If the template supports image graphics such as a banner, these may be changed using the Image link. Use the Replace function to upload a new JPEG image file which must have a .jpg extension.
Note: The new image may be of any dimension, but care should be taken that the size is consistent with its position and appearance on the page when the report is rendered.
