Use Cases / Context

This module was developed because for some users it is easier to use the docx format for their templates.

As it uses a slightly different templating language, it is not a drop-in replacement for report_py3o.

It also does not provide any format conversions, though it should be pretty simple to write a glue module that converts the resulting docx files to formats supported by report_py3o.

Installation

To install this module, you need to:

pip install docxtpl

Configuration

To configure this module, you need to:

1. Go to Settings / Technical / Actions / Report

2. Create a new report with type DOCX

3. Fill in the name of a model, ie crm.lead

4. Upload your DOCX file in the Template field

5. To help with crafting expressions in the template, switch to the DOCX tab, select a record and fill in some expression. When happy with the result, copy the code into your template document. Don’t forget to read the extensive documentation on the right hand side

Usage

To use this module, you need to:

1. Print some report created according to the configuration manual
