Introduction

In this version, we have added compatibility with MS Word templates to the functionality of Reports.

Taking advantage of this implementation, we have also added a new functionality that allows for the creation and sending of emails using MS Word templates.

How does it work?

From the Platform, you can now select the Email Templates option in the Visualization and GIS sections. When accessing, a screen like this will appear:

In this screen, you will have a list of all your Word templates. WClick on the button with a + to upload a new template:

Fill in the required fields and upload the template that you want to use.

As in the Reports functionality, the template must be created with some "tags" in the following format: {{example}}. The system will detect these "labels" and replace them. In this case, we have created a very simple template for this test:

Once created, the template will return you to the list screen, now with your newly-created template:

Now you can run your mail template.

When doing so, a window will appear that allows you to indicate the email addresses to which you will send the email, and the subject of the email; and it will allow you to indicate what values you want to include to replace your "labels", filling in the text you want to be used to replace them:

Once you click on send, the system will automatically send your email to the addresses that you have included:

Support technology

The functionality for sending emails via templates in Word is based on Poi-tl, Apache Poi and java-mammoth.
