Generation of certificates, course reports, assignment letters and other documents from ODT template

IMPORTANT: The file must be in .odt format and not .doc, so the use of word is not recommended. Instead, it is highly recommended to use Openoffice

This mini guide on generating certificates, certifications, course reports and other documents from .odt template is divided into the following paragraphs:

  1. INTRODUCTION
  2. PLACEHOLDER DEFINITION
  3. PLACEHOLDER LISTS
  4. PLACEHOLDERS IN TABLES
  5. CONDITIONAL BLOCKS
  6. FILTERS
  7. LIST OF AVAILABLE PLACE CARDS
  8. UPLOADING ODT TEMPLATE TO SYSTEM
  9. USE OF THE CONTRACT TEMPLATE

1. INTRODUCTION

In the direction of allowing the individual school autonomous management of certificates, certificates, reports and other documents, the system allows for the preparation and activation of documents in total autonomy, which will then be exportable for each course and for each student enrolled in the courses.
The report will have to be a template in .odt format, i.e., OpenOffice, the content will be able to integrate dynamic content through the use of placeholders responsive to a predefined syntax, being able to choose from an extensive list of entities and attributes that will allow documents of various types to be generated.
The system will also allow access to custom fields of courses and users, or to insert tables to list enrollees, with a rather simple syntax, allowing rather rich documents to be generated.

The generation of a report from odt template enables the generation of documents in Open Document Text format (ODF text document, .odt extension), containing dynamic information, using an .odt file, called a template, in which appropriate placeholders are inserted, which, in the final generated document, will be replaced by the value indicated by the placeholder.

WARNING: template refers, in the context of this documentation, to a normal .odt file containing placeholders, the file must be in ODF text document format, extension .odt.

The template for generating the final document, to be uploaded when setting up the report, is a normal odt document, and where there is text, a placeholder can be inserted there, within the normal text flow, even within a table.

This type of report can be linked to a course, to a student in a course, or to a teacher in a course and allows for the generation of certificates, certificates, and reports on the course; it can also be linked to a student in the student registry to generate enrollment forms, for example, or to a teacher in the teacher registry to generate a letter of assignment; another possible use is as a contract template, to be used in order management.

2. DEFINITION OF PLACEHOLDERS

La sintassi per definire un segnaposto è {oggetto.attributo}, il nome dell’oggetto è la parte del nome a sinistra del punto, il nome dell’attributo è la parte a destra del punto; quindi, ad esempio, per mostrare nel documento finale il nome del corso si usa {course.name}, per mostrare la sede del corso si usa {location.location}.

If the name of the object is plural, in English, it means that it is a list of values, which can be used within a table or to create a list of values in the final document, using an appropriate syntax to indicate the beginning and end of the list; the list of placeholders below indicates when a placeholder is a list.

Some placeholders, e.g. course, students, students, teachers, possess an attribute that has a different behavior, the customfields attribute, the syntax of which is {object.customfields[code]}, which is used to show the value of a custom field, e.g., to show the value of the custom field of the course with code _LEVEL, we use {course.customfields[LEVEL]}.

To summarize, if we wanted to show the name, code, location, and custom field LEVEL, of the course:

{course.name}

{course.code}

{location.location}

{course.customfields[_LEVEL]}

3. LISTS OF PLACEHOLDERS

The syntax for using a list of values, involves indicating where the list begins and where it ends; in the block of text enclosed between the two markers, placeholders are inserted to show the values of each list item, for example, to list the full names and email address of each student in the course:

[!-- BEGIN students --]

{students.fullName} {students.email}

[!-- END students --]
the line between [!-- BEGIN students --] e [!-- END students --] will be repeated for each student, in the final document.

Two special placeholders are available for each list item, _position, the position of the item in the list, and _total, the total number of items in the list.

4. PLACEHOLDERS IN TABLES

The syntax for using a list of values within a table involves indicating where the table row begins and where it ends; in the block of text enclosed between the two markers, placeholders are inserted to show the values of each item in the list, e.g., to list the full names, email address, and mobile phone of each student in the course, within a table:

[!-- BEGIN row.students --]

{students.fullName}
{students.email}
{students.mobile}

[!-- END row.students --]

the table row between [!-- BEGIN row.students --] e [!-- END row.students --] will be repeated for each student, in the table of the final document.

5. CONDITIONAL BLOCKS

The conditional block is a part of the document, delimited by appropriate markers, with which a condition is associated, which can be true or false; if true, the contents of the block are included in the final document; if false, the contents of the block are removed from the final document.

One of the defined custom fields or the conditions given in the CONDITION section of the list of available placeholders can be used as a condition for the block.
The condition using a custom field is true if the field is valorized, it is false if it is empty.

The syntax for defining the conditional block involves stating the beginning and end of the block, indicating the associated condition, e.g., to define a conditional block to be shown only if the order is discounted:

[!-- IF order.isDiscounted --]

Sconto: {order.discount}

[!-- ENDIF order.isDiscounted --]

order.isDiscounted is the condition, if it is true the order is discounted and the discount applied is shown, if it is false the order is not discounted and the discount line will not be included in the final document.

You can reverse the condition check by adding NOT to the syntax to define the conditional block, for example, to define a conditional block to be shown only if the order is not discounted:

[!-- IF NOT order.isDiscounted --]
Discount not applicable.
[!-- ENDIF NOT order.isDiscounted --]

order.isDiscounted is the condition, if it is true the order is discounted and the text "Discount not applicable" will not be shown in the final document, if it is false the order is not discounted and therefore the text "Discount not applicable" will be shown in the final document.

To use a custom field as a condition use the following syntax:

[!-- IF student.customfields[CERTIFICAZIONI] --]
Certifications: {student.customfields[CERTIFICATIONS]}
[!-- ENDIF student.customfields[CERTIFICAZIONI] --]

the row within the block will be shown only the student's certifications have been indicated, that is, if the custom field with code CERTIFICATIONS of the student is not empty.

6. FILTERS

Filters allow an operation to be performed that changes the value of the individual placeholder entered in the document and are available for any type of odt report, regardless of section.

The available filters are as follows:

  • cut allows us to limit the length of a text within the given value, for example to limit the length of the course name to a maximum of 5 characters we can use the placeholder {course.name|cut[5]}
  • daysbefore allows us to compute a date earlier than the date of the valorized placeholder, e.g. if we want to get the date corresponding to 2 weeks before the start of the course we can use the placeholder {course.startDate|daysbefore[14]}
  • daysafter allows us to compute a date later than the date of the valorized placeholder, for example if we want to get the date corresponding to 1 week after the start of the course we can use the placeholder {course.startDate|daysafter[7]}
  • lowercase changes the value of the placeholder to lowercase, for example to show the course name all in lowercase use the placeholder {course.name|lowercase}
  • uppercase changes the value of the placeholder to uppercase, e.g. to show the course name all in uppercase use the placeholder {course.name|uppercase}
  • uppercasefirst changes the value of the placeholder by capitalizing the first letter, e.g. to show the course name with the first letter capitalized use the placeholder {course.name|uppercasefirst}

If two versions of the same placeholder are needed in the document, one filtered and one unfiltered, simply add a _ (underscore) to the second occurrence of the placeholder, e.g., use {course.name|cut[5]} to show the abbreviated course name and {course_.name} to show the full course name later.

  • Section in which to show the report *: Course sheet
  • Report/export by individual student: if this checkbox is valorized, the report in question will be exportable per individual student enrolled in the course, so as it is explained a little below, in case of individual courses the report can be exported from the course sheet, and in case of a collective course from the section of students enrolled in the course.

9. USE OF REPORTS

In case it is an individual student report (so if the option "Report/export for individual student"), you will be able to export it for each individual course from the course tab by clicking the button in the upper right corner "Report / Export" and choosing the specific report.


In the case of a group course, on the other hand, you will have to enter the section of students enrolled in the course by clicking the icon on the line of the same and click from the next screen the "Report / Export" present on the line of each enrolled student.

In case of report per collective course (thus leaving the checkbox "Report/export by individual student"), for example, a progress report in which the progress of each individual enrolled in the course is summarized via a table, it will be possible to export the report from the course tab by clicking the button in the upper right-hand corner "Report / Export" and choosing the specific report.
