General Considerations

1. For information on the core default style and catering for language translations, see Formatting Report Contents, System Text and Language Translations, and Style Guidelines.

2. Use the standard Word formatting options for applying formatting such as font styles, alignment, table borders, page headers/footers, page numbering, date, and time.

3. Set table header rows to repeat on page break.

4. Place report headers and footers and record counts within a single table cell (with no borders), otherwise, issues can occur with system text being derived and extraneous columns being added in Excel format.

5. Where a report includes details of a record being linked to a Process, the Linked Process fields available to be included as columns are Process Id, Process Name, Activity Id, and Activity Name.

6. Data from the API data sources has namespace markup (ns0 / ns1 / ns2 prefix tags) automatically removed so it should not be necessary for any additional coding in the RTF templates.

7. Images may not render within headers and footers.

8. There is a known limitation in the output of bulleted and numbered lists in BI Publisher reports. This affects the rich text fields with text formatting options, and results in the bullet point or number being omitted or replaced with a question mark. Typical rich text fields are in the Process Controls and Custom RTF fields. For list formatting in these fields, manually number the list, or use a character such as a hyphen as an alternative to a bullet point.
