Updated: 01.02.2021 | Differentiation between legacy Word reports and Office reports presented in a table.

Text blocks can be used to create preformatted texts in Vertec, which can later be formatted into Word reports. These are stored in HTML format in Vertec and are therefore independent of layout and CI.

OCL expressions can also be stored in the text modules, which are calculated when the report is executed.

The text modules can be linked to Vertec objects via custom links or via additional fields. For example, you can store quotation texts that print the corresponding texts depending on the selected options.

Creating text blocks in vertec

Expression: textbaustein
“New” classes: Textbaustein
Icon: 19

To enter a phrase, right-click on the folder and select Neu > Textbaustein.

The formatted text supports the following parts of HTML:

Example `<p class="h1">Ein Titel</p>` . indent for indented paragraph. Example `<p class="indent">Ein Titel</p>` .
