Templates & Styles
The basis for the output of documents are templates:
- LAYOUT e.g. positioning, tables, etc.
- RULES for the output of:
- Substance data and classification data from the substance database
- Texts, phrases or text blocks from the phrase library
- Graphics (e.g. symbols and pictograms for labeling) from the symbol library
- Supplier information (e.g. address, logo)
STYLES: You can also apply a style template to each template. This allows your documents to meet the different corporate design requirements without extra effort.
