The Costpoint Word Template Add-In

This topic describes the contents of the Costpoint Word Template add-in.

Use the Costpoint Word Template add-in to build a report template in Word.

The Costpoint add-in installs a Costpoint tab in Word. The template is created with result set data that is imported from a field definition file (CPMetadata.xml) that you create on the Manage Word Templates (SYMWRPTM) screen in Costpoint and download to your computer.

The Costpoint add-in consists of three sub-tabs:
  • Application: Use this sub-tab to select the domain, module, and the application to apply the template. The available result sets for the template are based on this selection.
  • Format: Use this sub-tab to select a format for the corresponding data type field in the Costpoint Fields Selector. The format options are Date (D), Number (N), and String (S).
  • Field Definition File: Use this sub-tab to import a field definition file and to view the date the file was last generated.

Use the Costpoint Fields Selector in the right pane to select the result set and data fields you want to include in the template.
