Practical Session 6 | Practical Session 8
Estimated completion time = 15 minutes.
One benefit of EASA is that it allows authors to design the output from an EASAP to produce reports in any preferred format. We have already seen how to create a report in Excel format, but we can also create an HTML-based report for the output. The design of an EASAP’s output is performed on the OuUTPUT branch of the Tree in EASAP Builder. For the Stock Screener EASAP, you will create a report that contains the following elements:
Please follow the instructions below to complete this practical session.
To add a report,
Add the html file you uploaded in the beginning of the tutorial:
Parameter Name | Parameter Value |
---|---|
File: | report_body.html |
We edit the report_body.html
file using Template Editor.
The Template Editor will start in a new window that looks like the following:
At this point, you have added three (3) DORs to the template HTML file and the Template Editor window should look like the following:
Save the document
Parameter Name | Parameter Value |
---|---|
Table Style: | Table |
We want to display our count of all the stock symbols.
Parameter Name | Parameter Value |
---|---|
Title: | Total Stocks Found |
Value: | %count_Symbol% |
Now add a link to the Excel Spreadsheet.
Parameter Name | Parameter Value |
---|---|
Title: | Results Output |
Value: | Open |
Link to File: | Results.xls |
Now we add a TABULATED DATA similar to the one within the USER INTERFACE branch. Before we do that we need to add a TEXT OUTPUT to display the heading for the TABULATED DATA.
Parameter Name | Parameter Value |
---|---|
Text: | Table of Stock Data |
Style: | Heading 3 |
The new TABULATED DATA object will be called tabulated_data_Data_Output1.
You have now completed Practical Session 7 and you can exit out of EASAP Builder and then either proceed to the next session or take a break.
