CHAPTER 1 Introduction to DocumentWriter

Copyright 1983 - 2013 Temp Computer Systems Pty Ltd ver123-381-03/10

INTRODUCTION DocumentWriter is a tool which allows you to produce Document templates. You can find DocumentWriter at:

System ⇒ Miscellaneous Maintenance ⇒ Documents In this Manual, the screens beneath the “Documents” tab are always referred to as “DocumentWriter”.

Figure 1.00 - Presenting “DocumentWriter”

DocumentWriter looks very similar to a text editor or a word processor. It consists of a blank area in which you may type text using your keyboard, and various buttons and tabs that allow you react with the text that has been typed (eg check spelling in the text, preview the text, save or delete the text). Using DocumentWriter is the first step in the process of creating Documents in WorkDESK. Following is an illustration of the process of creating a Document in WorkDESK.

STEP 1: DocumentWriter is used to create a Template

DocumentWriter Template (Invoice Layout)

STEP 2: The Invoicing module uses the Template for the Invoice

Formatted Invoice/Statements Invoice

Figure 1.01 The process of printing a final Document in WorkDESK.

The DocumentWriter module is always the starting point in the creation process. DocumentWriter is used to create different types of Document templates, and then these templates are used by other modules in WorkDESK to produce final Documents, eg Invoices, Statements, Remittance Advices, Pay Advices, Letters, Emails, SMS messages etc. This manual focuses only on the elements in Step 1 of the process outlined in Figure 1.01 above. It aims to teach you:

1. How to use the DocumentWriter module (ie the functions and uses of

the various screens and buttons in the DocumentWriter module). 2. How to create Document templates using the DocumentWriter

module (ie how to use the language of DocumentWriter templates).

There is a brief discussion about Step 2 (the process of creating final Documents in WorkDESK) in Section 1.14 of this manual. For more detailed information you should refer to your WorkDESK Resource Kit.

1.1 WorkDESK Documentation Roadmap There are a series of Manuals available to WorkDESK users. One copy of each Manual is provided with the Software Installation kit. Additional copies of each Manual can be printed from the PDF file copy which may be found in the Help subfolder of the WorkDESK Installation folder (which is usually named “tempsys”).

1.2 WHY DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DOCUMENTWRITER? You need to know about DocumentWriter because it is the key to creating personalised letters, Invoices, Pay Advice slips, resumes and labels in large volumes. DocumentWriter exists to help you to communicate with anyone in your WorkDESK database – be they Candidates, Clients, or Employees. Learning to use DocumentWriter will allow you to produce attractive, personalised Documents in a way that will save you lots of time and effort.

1.3 WHEN WILL I NEED TO USE DOCUMENTWRITER? You will need to use DocumentWriter whenever you want to: • Create new Document designs (ie new Pay Advices, Invoices and

Remittance Advices, etc). • Make changes to the formatting of your existing Documents • Customise any or all of the standard Document layouts included as part

of your WorkDESK software to help you get started. As you become accustomed to using WorkDESK, it will be inevitable that you will encounter one of the situations listed above, and you will need to use DocumentWriter. This manual is intended to help you harness the power of your WorkDESK database through DocumentWriter. Before long, you will be an expert, so read on!

1.4 HOW DO I USE DOCUMENTWRITER? There are two ways to create Document Templates in DocumentWriter. 1. The Easy Way - Use the DocumentWizard to create your layout for you 2. The Hard Way - Design and write the layout yourself

1.4.1 THE EASY WAY: DOCUMENTWIZARD

The DocumentWizard helps you to create customised Document layouts quickly and easily. You can use the DocumentWizard to create:

Invoices Remittance Advices Receivable Statements Pay Advices Labels Resumes Action Letters Candidate, Client & Employee Mailing

Letters

The DocumentWizard allows you to select from up to three different styles on which to base your layout.

1.4.2 THE HARD WAY: WRITING THE LAYOUT YOURSELF

You use DocumentWriter in exactly the same way as you would a word/text processor. That is, you enter text into it by typing on your keyboard.

Page 8: WDW– WorkDESK DocumentWriter Manual WDW... · 1.2 WHY DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DOCUMENTWRITER? You need to know about DocumentWriter because it is the key to creating personalised

The DocumentWriter module is similar to a word/text processor in many ways, so this should help you get over any anxiety you may feel about using it. For example, DocumentWriter allows you to cut and paste text, check the spelling of words that you have typed and the validity of the commands you have entered. It also allows you to preview your work and print it. You can also save and later edit the files that you have created in DocumentWriter. There is, however, one major difference between a word processor and DocumentWriter. Unlike a text or word processor that directly produces Documents, the purpose of DocumentWriter is to allow you to produce “templates”. These templates may then be used later by other modules in WorkDESK to produce your final Documents.

As a result, using DocumentWriter is somewhat different from using a word processor. Although you enter text into DocumentWriter in exactly the same way as you would enter it into a word processor, the text that you enter into DocumentWriter (ie the text of a “template”) is made up of more than just normal English words, phrases and sentences. The text of a DocumentWriter template is more complex because it also contains special “commands”. Learning to use DocumentWriter to create templates is not difficult. It simply requires you to become accustomed to the special “commands” used to create DocumentWriter templates. This manual is intended to make the learning process significantly easier because it teaches you what these “commands” mean, and how to use these them to produce customised Documents from your WorkDESK database.

In the next section of this chapter, we will discuss the general concept of “templates” in more detail so that you will be able to understand how and why templates are used in WorkDESK.

1.5 BASIC CONCEPTS An integral part of learning to use the DocumentWriter module involves taking the time to understand the concept of “templates” although this is not quite as important when you use the DocumentWizard, UNLESS you want to modify the layout created by the DocumentWizard. You may already be familiar with the term “template” as it applies to real-life objects such as stencils, for example. Imagine that you take a pair of scissors and some cardboard and cut a square stencil from it. Then, you use your stencil to trace the square onto a piece of paper over and over again, so that the square is faithfully replicated all over the piece of paper. The stencil is a “template” that you can use as a tool to draw your shape repeatedly and quickly, without any variation in the appearance of the shape that you are repeatedly drawing. The task of reproducing the squares has become a less onerous one because the template has reduced the amount of time and effort required to draw each square neatly in freehand, or with a ruler. Even from the simple example above, it is probably already clear to you that templates have some very important properties: ease-of-use, timesaving, reliability and uniformity of outcome are particularly evident properties. Thus, a template is a tool that enables you to complete repetitious tasks faster, without affecting the quality of the final product.

1.5.1 WHY DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TEMPLATES? As we just mentioned, templates are a useful tool for speeding up your most repetitious tasks whilst maintaining a uniformity of outcome. If you were to think about some of the communications tasks that you carry out in your workplace, you would quickly be able to draw up a list of jobs that require the same set of procedures to be used repeatedly, but which require you to be extremely accurate. An example of one such task would be Invoicing your Clients. All Clients that you invoice will need to know what they are paying for and how much they owe you. In the simplest of terms, sending an Invoice to each and every Client therefore involves setting out the same types of written information over and over again. Such a task involves setting out the address and contact details of each Client on each Invoice, as well as some itemised details, and the total amount of money that each Client owes you. In addition to carrying out this series of steps over and over for each individual Client that you Invoice, you will need to ensure that the amount you are charging is accurate for each Invoice, and that each and every Invoice conforms to a standard. Given the characteristics of your Invoicing task and the foregoing discussion on templates, you may start to appreciate that a tool like the humble template can save you time, effort and money whenever you periodically produce your Client Invoices. If you can’t quite see the connection yet, don’t worry because we are now going to discuss how all of this information about templates specifically applies to WorkDESK’s DocumentWriter module.

1.5.2 DOCUMENTWRITER AND TEMPLATES

You can think of the WorkDESK DocumentWriter module as a “template-maker”. Just like the scissors in our simple example in section 1.4, DocumentWriter is a tool that is used to create templates. However, templates produced by DocumentWriter are, by contrast, much more powerful and sophisticated. DocumentWriter templates have a special name - they are referred to as “Document layouts” and we shall refer to them as such from here onwards in this manual. The Document layouts that you create in DocumentWriter are used in other modules of the WorkDESK software to produce final Documents such as standard “form” letters, general marketing letters, Candidate resumes, Client Invoices, Pay Advices, Remittance Advices and so forth. That is, other modules in the WorkDESK software can read the Document layouts that were created in DocumentWriter. These modules can then act on the instructions contained in Document layouts (the “commands” that we discussed in section 1.3.2) to extract information from your WorkDESK database automatically and to produce final Documents that directly incorporate the information that has been extracted. As you can imagine, this makes Document layouts a very handy and powerful tool.

1.5.3 WHICH WorkDESK MODULES USE TEMPLATES?

There are a number of other modules or parts of WorkDESK which understand how to use the Document layouts (templates) that have been created in DocumentWriter.

Page 10: WDW– WorkDESK DocumentWriter Manual WDW... · 1.2 WHY DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DOCUMENTWRITER? You need to know about DocumentWriter because it is the key to creating personalised

WorkDESK DocumentWriter Manual

In this section, we shall take some time to explain which modules in WorkDESK use Document layouts, and the purposes for which they use them. In general, the modules that we are about to discuss use DocumentWriter layouts for the following purposes:

INVOICING Production of Invoices for you to send to your

Clients REMITTANCES Production of Payment Remittance

Advices/Cheques for you to send to your Suppliers

PAY ADVICES Production of Pay Advices/Cheques for you to send to your Employees

LETTERS Production of letters for you to send to your Candidates, Clients and/or Employees.

RESUMES Production of resumes for your Candidates

Figure 1.02 Purposes of modules that use DocumentWriter layouts There are a total of ten WorkDESK modules, which use DocumentWriter layouts. Each of these ten modules performs a unique function. Of these ten modules, six use Document layouts directly. To enable these modules to use your Document layouts, you have to select the module and specify in it the name of your Document layout, in order to produce a final Document. The following six modules are capable of utilising DocumentWriter layouts directly (note that the name of the module appears in a shaded box at the end of the screen path that will take you to the module):

1

Accounting Accounts Receivable Formatted Manual Invoice Formatted Invoice/Statements

2

Accounting Accounts Payable Payment Print Cheque/Remittances

3

Payroll Payrun Printed Pay Advices/Cheques

Figure 1.03 Modules which use layouts directly.

When you examine each of the screens in these modules, you will notice that they all call for you to specify a “Document Name” or a “Document” of some sort. It is in these fields that you enter the name of the Document layouts that you have created in DocumentWriter. There are three other modules that use Document layouts. These modules use Document layouts in an indirect way (there are four modules listed below, but two of these modules perform the same function). These modules require you to specify an “Action code” rather than a “Document name” before they can read your Document layout.

Note: wherever we use the term Action Letter, it also applies to Email and SMS Text Messages (provided you have one of the text messaging options available with WorkDESK).

Modules that are capable of utilising DocumentWriter layouts indirectly include:

Figure 1.04 Modules which use layouts indirectly

It is necessary to understand all of the information in this section only to the extent that you need to know where to use the Document layouts that you will soon be creating.

Please note that this manual is intended primarily to teach you how to use the DocumentWriter to create Document layouts for these other modules. For further information about the specific use of the other modules mentioned in this section, please refer to your WorkDESK Resource Kit.

1.5.4 IS ANY DOCUMENT USABLE WITH ANY MODULE?

Not every Document layout that you create in DocumentWriter will be accepted by every module discussed in the previous section. Layouts for Invoices differ from layouts for Remittance Advices, which in turn differ from layouts for Pay Advices, Resumes and letters. Nor will Documents intended for mailing necessarily work well if emailed. Text messages are very specific.

The reasons behind this will be explained in the next chapter. For now, all that you need to grasp is that modules with different functions require different types of layouts.

1.6 SUMMARY In this chapter we learned that: (1) DocumentWriter is a WorkDESK module found in:

System Miscellaneous Maintenance Documents

(2) The process of printing final Documents in WorkDESK involves: Creating a template (a Document layout) in DocumentWriter

either using the DocumentWizard or by entering the template manually.

Using the DocumentWriter template in other modules in WorkDESK to create final Documents.

2 DOCUMENT LAYOUTS 2.1 WHAT DOES A DOCUMENT LAYOUT LOOK LIKE

By now you have probably started to wonder what a Document layout looks like. “Real-world” templates are made from cardboard or wood or some tangible material, but what is a Document layout made of and what does it look like? To begin with, Document layouts are made up of “words” and numbers - text. A Document layout looks a little like a computer program that contains numerous “commands”, but it is definitely not as difficult to understand as a computer program! In the following screen shot, you will see part of a Document layout:

Figure 2.00 Document layout example displayed in DocumentWriter

When you first look at a Document layout like the one in figure 2.00, you may find it all looks very daunting – almost like another language! If you take a closer look at the Document layout, you will see that it’s not really all as foreign as you first thought.

Page 16: WDW– WorkDESK DocumentWriter Manual WDW... · 1.2 WHY DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DOCUMENTWRITER? You need to know about DocumentWriter because it is the key to creating personalised

So let’s take a closer look at the full layout that is partially pictured in Figure 2.00:

Figure 2.01 Full Document layout partially displayed in Figure 2.00

What can you see in Figure 2.01 above? You might have noticed that the symbols “<” and “>” appear regularly around sets of letters, or sometimes sets of letters and numbers. You will no doubt be able to discern words like “MARGIN”, “LINE”, “TODAY”, “NAME”, “SURNAME” and “POSTCODE” in amongst these sets of letters and numbers, as well as a piece of a sentence which says: “Unfortunately, in this instance you have been unsuccessful, etc”. It probably won’t surprise you to know that some of these odd-looking “words” in between the angled brackets (“<” and “>”) refer to things like lines, margins, postcodes, and peoples’ surnames. These strange “words” are the special “commands” that we referred to in Chapter One (Section 1.3.2). The good news is that all Document layouts look roughly like the one in Figure 2.01, so if you can get used to looking at this strange conglomeration of alien text and normal words, you are halfway towards mastering DocumentWriter.

2.2 “VARIABLE INFORMATION” vs “FIXED INFORMATION” So what do these strange sets of letters and numbers inside angled brackets mean? To answer this question, we need to need to take a minute to think about the sort of information that ends up in final Documents - particularly Documents that will be mass-mailed.

<LMARGIN014><RMARGIN070><POINTS12> <LOGO2,47,13,30,logogs> <LINE012> <TODAY> - <TODAY2> <LINE002> <T> <AFNAME> <ASURNAME> <AADDRESS1> <S><U><AADDRESS2> <APOSTCODE><u> <LINE003> Dear <AFNAME> <JUSTIFY>Thank you for your recent application for a position through WorkDESK Personnel Pty Ltd. Unfortunately, in this instance, you have been unsuccessful. However, we will be pleased to retain your details on file and will be in further contact should another suitable position become available.<NORMAL> Yours sincerely <LINE005> <CONS> <U>CONSULTANT<u> <LINE008> <POINTS08>Action Letter AAA - Applicant Unsuccessful Letter <END>

CHAPTER 2 Document Layouts

Copyright 1983 - 2013 Temp Computer Systems Pty Ltd ver123-375-09/09

17

We can say that this information falls into two different categories:

Category Information Type

Characteristic

1

Variable

This is the sort of information that may change from Document to Document eg names and addresses

2

Fixed

This is the sort of information that remains the same from Document to Document eg the text of the Document

Figure 2.02 The two categories of mass-mailed information

Perhaps the easiest way for you to begin thinking about these basic Document layout elements is in terms of another example. Imagine that you are going to send out letters to a number of your Clients, inviting them all to the opening of your new company office. You decide that you want every letter to carry the following information: • Your company logo somewhere on the page • The name and address of the Client • The name of the Client Contact Person that you wish to invite • The text of your invitation The information carried by your invitation falls into one of the two categories depicted in Table 2.00: variable information, and fixed information.

Variable Information Fixed Information

Name and address of Client Company Logo

Names/Client Contacts Text of letter Figure 2.03 Categorising the information in our example

Your company logo is a picture or a “graphic” that will never change from letter to letter. Likewise, the text in your letters will always convey the same information (the invitation) regardless of the Client to whom it is sent. Text and graphics are pieces of information that are therefore fixed, unchanging elements of your invitations (final Documents). There will also be pieces of information in each of your letters that will vary completely from letter to letter. For example, the addresses of each of the Clients that you are inviting will differ from letter to letter, as will the name of each Client Contact Person. Because this sort of information varies from letter to letter, it is given the name “variable”. Having understood that mass-communicated Documents contain these two basic types of information, it is time to take the next step.

2.3 “VARIABLE NAME” vs “VARIABLE INFORMATION” From this point onwards in the manual, we shall use the word “variable name” quite frequently. You have already understood the concept of “variable information”, but now you will need to understand the term “variable name”.

A “variable name” is not the same thing as “variable information”. Although they are related, there is a fundamental difference between the two terms. Take a look at table 3.00 below:

Figure 2.04 Differences between variable “name” and “information”

As you can see, the variable information changes from column 2 to column 4, but the variable name (name, address, today’s date, title) that describes this variable information, does not change. The term “variable name” can be thought of as the “label” for the information, whereas the term “variable information”, is the information itself.

You can probably think of many more variable names - phone number, height, colour of hair, favourite food. Any label for a piece of variable information is called a “variable name”. The information itself is called “variable information”. Understanding the basic difference between a variable name and the information that it represents is quite a simple thing to do, but it is a significant step towards fully understanding Document layouts. This is because WorkDESK Document layouts use variable names (or “labels”) to represent the variable information that exists in your WorkDESK database.

2.4 VARIABLE NAMES IN A DOCUMENT LAYOUT In Figure 2.01 you saw a number of strange “words” enclosed by angled brackets (“<” and “>”). These “words” inside the angled brackets are variable names (recall that they are the “commands” that were mentioned in Chapter One). These “words” inside angled brackets are labels that represent variable information found in your WorkDESK database. You will appreciate that your WorkDESK database is a prime source of variable information because it is full of names, addresses and phone numbers of candidates, Clients, and Employees. It also contains information about how much Employees earn, what jobs they have worked, Clients for whom they have worked. You are able to access all of this valuable variable information. You can extract it and place it into letters, Pay Advices, Invoices and other sorts of final Documents that you need to send to people in your database en masse. The key to doing so lies in understanding that this variable information in your database can be represented by variable names in a Document layout. A simple example of the foregoing discussion is illustrated in Figure 2.05. The left column in Figure 2.05 shows lines 1 to 9 of a Document layout. The right column contains comments about the effect of each variable name on each line of the left column.

Variable Name Purpose of Variable Name

1: <TODAY> Print today’s Date followed by a blank line.

2: <CONTACT> Print the Contact Person. 3: <TITLE> Print the Person’s Title. 4: <CLIENT> Print the Client’s Name. 5: <ADDRESS1> Print First Address line. 6: <ADDRESS2> Print Second Address line. 7: <ADDRESS3> Print Third Address line 8: <ADDRESS4><POSTCODE> Print the 4th Address line + Post Code. 9: Dear <SALUT> The word “Dear” is fixed information and

will appear in every Document printed from this Document template. The <SALUT> is a label or variable name representing a piece of variable information that you have already entered into your WorkDESK database.

Figure 2.05 Effects of the contents of a Document layout

When the nine lines of text (illustrated in Figure 2.05) are typed into DocumentWriter to create a Document Layout and this Document layout is then used in the Action Letter module, the Action Letter module reads the variable name that you have placed in your Document layout and then seeks out the variable information that it represents. When the module finds the relevant variable information in the WorkDESK database, it substitutes this information into your final Document (replacing the variable names in your layout with variable information from your database) so that the final Document looks like this:

Figure 2.06 After variable information replaces the variable names

As you can see, the variable information replaces the variable name exactly in the final Document.

2.5 FORMATTING COMMANDS When you begin to create your own Document layouts, you will find that there is a need for “formatting”. You will want to be able to specify how your variable information and fixed information should appear in a final Document (eg whether the information appears normally, bolded, underlined or italicised, and what size the font will be), as well as where your fixed and variable information will appear in the final Document (ie the positioning of the text on a page). In order to do this, you will use special formatting commands. The formatting commands follow the same convention as all variable names: they appear in angled brackets. There is nothing at all difficult about these variable names – in fact, they are easier to learn because they are accepted by every WorkDESK module and therefore, will be used in every Document layout

that you create. Because you will use these system variable names so often, you will quickly come to feel at home with them.

2.6 FORMATTING COMMANDS: THE RULES There are a number of rules that you should follow when creating or modifying Document layouts in DocumentWriter. This section of the manual details these rules.

2.6.1 DON’T INVENT YOUR OWN VARIABLE NAMES

The variable names that are used in Document layouts have been “preset”. That is, you cannot simply invent your own variable names to represent the information that is contained in your WorkDESK database. This is a definite advantage because it means that there are only a limited number of variable names with which you need to familiarise yourself in order to begin creating your own Document layouts. Note that it is not necessary for you to learn all of the DocumentWriter variable names off by heart. In the following chapters of this manual, you will find tables that set out all of the variable names that you can use in your Document layouts, together with descriptions of the types of variable information that they represent. After you have read the introductory chapters of this manual and understood them, you will most probably find that these tables are the most useful part of the manual, and you will frequently find yourself referring only to these tables when you are designing your own Document layouts. While the tables in this manual will save you from having to learn all of the preset variable names, you may find yourself remembering them as you gain more experience in creating Document layouts.

2.6.2 USE VARIABLE NAMES THAT ARE UNDERSTOOD BY

TARGET MODULES In Chapter One, you learned that there are a number of different “modules” which understand how to use Document layouts, and that each of these modules has a different function. Because each module has a unique function, not all modules can understand the same variable names (however, all modules understand the same formatting commands).

This is a simple but important point, and so it is worth spending a little time discussing it. You will appreciate that a module that specialises in producing Pay Advices for your Employees each week performs a totally different function to one that produces resumes for your candidates. The type of variable information contained in a resume is quite different to the type of variable information contained in a pay slip. Therefore, the variable names that a resume-producing module needs to understand are completely different to the variable names that a Pay Advice module needs to understand. There would, for example, be no need for a Pay Advice module to access candidate educational details or candidate employment history details. A Pay Advice module needs only to access Employee timesheet information (a form of variable information) from your WorkDESK database. As such, it needs only to understand the variable names that will allow it to access this timesheet information.

When you create a Document layout, always ensure that you have used variable names that your target module will understand. For example, if you design a Pay Advice Document layout, you will have to ensure that the

Page 21: WDW– WorkDESK DocumentWriter Manual WDW... · 1.2 WHY DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DOCUMENTWRITER? You need to know about DocumentWriter because it is the key to creating personalised

CHAPTER 2 Document Layouts

Copyright 1983 - 2013 Temp Computer Systems Pty Ltd ver123-375-09/09

21

variable names in this Document layout will be understood by the Pay Advice module.

By now you will be wondering how you are expected to know which variable names are understood by which modules! Don’t panic. The tables in Chapter Four are set out on a module-by-module basis, so if you are unsure of exactly which variable names are understood by a Pay Advice module, you can simply look them up. Keep in mind that if you inadvertently use a variable name that is not valid for a particular module, the module will print the variable name itself (rather than the variable information you may be expecting) when printing the final Document. This is the module’s way of telling you that it did not understand the variable name you specified in your Document layout. If this happens, simply go back to the tables in this manual and find the appropriate variable name to suit the module you are using and then alter your Document layout appropriately. Always check this manual if you are unsure of whether a variable name is going to be valid for end use in a module. This will save you much frustration in the long run!

2.6.3 BE “GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT” Sometimes you will need to use variable names and formatting commands exactly as specified in the tables in Chapter Four (pay particular attention to the RULES specified in the text of these tables). There are a number of variable names that need to be used in a specific way in your Document layouts, and the tables will highlight these variable names and explain to you how they are supposed to be used. You can think of these usage rules as “grammatical rules”. Like all linguistic grammatical rules, these rules must be followed if you hope to make your Document layouts understandable to any of the modules that are supposed to read them. Most variable names, however, do not have any special grammatical rules governing how or where they may be used. It’s very much up to you to determine the order in which you use any of the variable names you use to create each individual Document layout. Usually, you will place variable names in a Document layout where you want them to appear in the final document.

2.7 SUMMARY In this chapter of the manual, you learned the following key concepts: (1) A Document layout is a template, which is made up of words, numbers

and symbols. (2) Mass-mailed documents contain information of two basic types:

variable information, and fixed information. (3) A variable name is a label for variable information. (4) Document layouts use variable names to represent the variable

information in your WorkDESK database. There are tables in Chapter Four of this manual which list all variable names that are understood by WorkDESK modules.

3 USING THE DocumentWriter SCREENS In Chapter 1.0, you learned that DocumentWriter can be found in:

System ⇒ Miscellaneous Maintenance ⇒ Documents All Document layouts are keyed into the WorkDESK system through the DocumentWriter module, irrespective of which other modules will later be used to read the Document layouts. Figure 1.0 below gives you a brief overview of what the DocumentWriter screen looks like and how it functions.

Figure 3.00 Components of the DocumentWriter Screen

The design for each Document is stored on your computer system in the \\tempsys\text\layouts directory on your WorkDESK server. Each Document can be saved to this directory under a user-defined filename of up to seven characters, and later accessed if you want to change the layout by again entering the same name.

The Documents tab informs you that you are in DocumentWriter.

The Masterlist tab allows you to preview a list of all the Document Names stored by DocumentWriter.

Add, Alter and Delete tabs allow you to add, alter and delete your Document layouts.

The Check Layout button allows you to check that the syntax of your Document layout is correct.

To print your Document layout, click this button.

The Document layout (or template) is entered here.

Preview what your layout will look like on paper.

Check for spelling errors in your text.

Save any layout that has been added or altered.

Exit DocumentWriter

Scroll up and down the layout area.

The name of the Document layout that you are adding or altering is typed here.

Document Wizard creates the layout for you.

3.1 DOCUMENTS ADD Figure 3.01 illustrates the various parts of the DocumentWriter “Add” screen. When you first enter DocumentWriter, you will notice that the “Add” tab is the default tab. When you “Add” a Document layout in DocumentWriter, you automatically make the relevant WorkDESK modules aware of the existence of that layout. A layout will be “invisible” to all WorkDESK modules until it has been “added” through DocumentWriter.

Figure 3.01 Introducing the “Add” tab in DocumentWriter

There are essentially three different ways in which to “Add” a Document layout: 1. Use the DocumentWizard to create the Document Layout for you. 2. Creating a new layout from scratch. In this case, choosing the Add tab is

similar to choosing the “New” option in a word-processing package. The text screen is empty and waiting for you to begin typing in a layout. Once you have typed in/created your new layout, you can click on the save button, and your Document layout (template) will be saved to your hard disk, in a directory where it can be accessed by any WorkDESK modules that are instructed to use it.

3. Making the WorkDESK modules aware of pre-existing Document layouts that

have never before been “added” to the system. There are instances, for example, when a Document Layout may be created by a member of the WorkDESK Support Group on your behalf. If you wish to view any of these standard templates, you must firstly “Add” them, “Save” them, and then use the “Alter” tab to make modifications to them (you may wish to customise some, or all, of the standard layouts to suit the purposes of your particular organisation).

Please note that when a Document layout is “Added”, it is only added for the present Group/Company. For example, if you add an Invoice Document layout to one of your Groups/Companies (in the event that you have more than one Group set up on your WorkDESK system), then this Invoice Document layout will only be recognised by the Invoice module IN THE PRESENT GROUP/COMPANY. If you wish to use the same Document layout in another Group/Company, you will need to exit the present group, go into

any other Groups where the same Document layout needs to be used, and use the DocumentWriter module in these other Groups to Add the same Document layout.

Document Name (7 alpha) The Document Name is the name that you choose to give to the layout that you are about to create OR it is the name of a pre-existing layout on your hard drive, but that has never been used before. The Document Name must not be more than seven characters in length.

Document Description (20 alpha)

The Document Description is a short phrase or group of letters of no more than twenty characters in length you can use as a reminder of what the layout is about. For example, if you had given your layout a Document Name like “INVSUB”, you may then like to add a description like “Sub Invoice” to remind yourself that this is the purpose of “INVSUB”.

3.2 DOCUMENTS ALTER Figure 3.02 below illustrates the various parts of the DocumentWriter “Alter” screen. Choose the “Alter” tab if you wish to modify or alter a layout which has previously been “added” via the Add tab.

Figure 3.02 Introducing the “Alter” tab in DocumentWriter. Document Name (7 alpha)

The Document Name that you enter into this field must have previously been added through the Add screen (see section 3.01). Enter the name of the Document layout that you wish to alter, and then press the Enter key on your keyboard.

Document Description (20 alpha)

The description (if one was originally entered) that goes with the Document Name that you have just entered will appear in this field. If you wish to alter the description, you may do so by placing your cursor in this field and making additions to the description, or deleting it and/or changing it. Press the Enter or Tab key on your keyboard and the cursor will appear in the main input screen, ready for you to alter the layout.

Button Functions For more information on Button Functions, see Table 3.07.

3.3 DOCUMENTS DELETE Figure 3.03 below illustrates the various parts of the DocumentWriter “Delete” screen. The delete screen is used to delete old or obsolete Documents.

Figure 3.03 Introducing the “Delete” tab in DocumentWriter. Document Name (7 alpha)

To delete a Document, you enter the name of the Document layout that you wish to delete into the Document Name field. Press the Enter key on your keyboard after you have done this. When your Document layout appears in the grey screen below, select the Delete button at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen and the file will be deleted.

3.4 DOCUMENTS MASTERLIST Use this tab to print a report listing the code, description and file availability for each Document layout that has ever been added to the present group on your WorkDESK system.

Figure 3.04 Introducing the “Masterlist” tab in DocumentWriter

The details in the report include the following information:

1. The “Code” column of the report tells you the Document Name of every Document layout that has ever been added through the present group’s DocumentWriter.

2: The “Description” column of the report gives you the Document

Description (if any) that was entered with the Document Name to act as a reminder of the purpose of the Document layout.

3. The “On File” column will either display the word “Yes” or “No”

depending on whether the layout is in your server’s \\Tempsys\Text\Layouts directory or not. “Yes” means that the Document layout has already been Added to WorkDESK through the WorkDESK DocumentWriter module and it is presently in the \\Tempsys\Text\Layouts directory. “No” means that the Document layout was Added to WorkDESK but for some reason is no longer in your server’s \\Tempsys\Text\Layouts directory (it may have been deleted from this directory).

Start at Document code (7 alpha)

Enter the first code (ie the first Document Name) to be included in the Report. You may also leave this field blank in order to have the Masterlist printout begin from the very first Document Name that is found on your system (this is handy if you have no idea what Document codes are kept on your system).

End at Document code (7 alpha)

Enter the last Document Name to be included in the Masterlist Report or leave blank to end at the last Document Name on file. (Again, leaving this field blank is handy if you have no idea what Document Names are available).

3.5 DOCUMENTS DOCUMENTWIZARD Figure 3.05 illustrates the various parts of the DocumentWizard. You use this tab to allow yourself to quickly design new layouts without personally entering the designs.

Figure 3.05 Introducing the DocumentWizard

Using the DocumentWizard Buttons, you are able to move to any step of a layout’s creation. This is useful if you want to change how you have done something or verify what you have selected to do. If you choose the Invoice option the DocumentWizard asks you to create Permanent, Temporary or Subcontractor Invoices. If you have chosen to create a Temporary or Subcontractor Invoice, you will be able to select how you would like to have your Invoices presented. You can select: • One Invoice for each Timesheet • All timesheets for One Job Order on

One Invoice • All timesheets for One Client on One Invoice Depending on which style you have chosen, you will be able to produce a single Invoice per page or two Invoices per page. Please note that only styles A and B are available for Temporary and Subcontractor Invoices, but Permanent Invoices provides styles A, B and C.

You can create Pay Advices with or without cheques attached. If you choose a Pay Advice with no cheque attached, you are able to print up to two Pay Advices per page.

You can create Remittance Advices with or without Cheques. If you choose a Remittance Advice with no Cheque attached, you are able to print up to two Remittance Advices per page.

You are able to create Statements with and without attached Remittance Advices. If you choose a Statement with no Remittance Advice attached, you are able to print up to two Statements per page.

There are three Action Letter Templates for Clients, Employees and Candidates. You can select the font you want to use with the letter if you do not wish to use the default font. You simply enter in the text you want to appear as the body of the letter in the bottom window. If you wish to use the P codes, you will need to set these up first.

You can create three different styles of Resume Layouts. You can select the font you want to use with the Resume if you do not wish to use the default font. You are able to make each previous Employment History entry start on a new page.

DocumentWizard allows you to create labels for Employees, Candidates and Clients. You can select the font you want to use with the label if you do not wish to use the default font. When designing the label, you decide how many labels across and how many labels there are down the page, how many tenths of an inch to start from the top and the left hand side of each label. You are also able to define the top and bottom margins of the label sheet in tenths of an inch. If you wish to add your Company name or address to the layout, this screen will appear in Documents where available and allow you to enter in the information you wish to appear on the printed Invoice Layout.

When you have finished creating your layout, you can preview the layout, go back and make changes or save your Document. If you click the SAVE button, the Document will be saved and you will be returned to the initial DocumentWizard Screen.

3.6 WORKING ON YOUR DOCUMENT LAYOUT A Document layout may be entered (“typed in”) or altered (words and phrases modified, deleted or added in) by using the the arrow keys on your keyboard to position the cursor, plus the standard Windows cut and paste Control keys to copy and move portions of text. You can also use your mouse to position the cursor. In this respect, the DocumentWriter editing screen behaves exactly like a normal Windows-based word processor/text editor.

To Insert Text (or Variable Names or Commands):

Position the cursor, by using the arrow keys and the “Page Up” and “Page Down” keys. Alternatively, you can use your mouse to move the pointer to the position on the Edit screen where you wish to insert the cursor, then press the left mouse button to make the insertion. You may then begin typing.

To Delete Text (or Variable Names or Commands): Position the cursor before the first character you wish to delete, drag the mouse to highlight the text you wish to delete then press the “Delete” or “Del” key.

To Copy Text (or Variable Names or Commands):

Position the cursor before the first character(s) you wish to copy, drag the mouse to highlight the text, then press Ctrl+C to copy. Reposition your cursor using your keyboard arrow keys or your mouse. When the cursor is in the appropriate position, press Ctrl+V to paste.

To Cut and Paste (Move) Text (or Variable Names or Commands):

Position the cursor before the first character(s) you wish to cut, drag the mouse to highlight the text, then press Ctrl+X to cut. Reposition your cursor using your keyboard arrow keys or your mouse. When the cursor is in the appropriate position, press Ctrl+V to paste.

To Save the current Document:

Click and the system will save the current version of the Document design. The Document will be stored as DDDDDDD.txt (where DDDDDDD is the Document Name) in the \\Tempsys\text\layouts directory on your server.

To Display the Previous or Next screen of information for this Document: Use the scroll bar on the right hand side of the input Window.

To Abandon changes made to the current Document:

Click To Use the button functions provided on the DocumentWriter Add and Alter Screens:

Button Purpose Click this button to check that "paired" instructions are

correctly entered (eg <B> and <b> or <TSTART> and <TEND> etc) and that commands entered are valid. Some validated items may be "invalid" in the ultimate Document. eg <TSTART> and <TEND> in an Action Letter.

Click this button to print a report containing the layout commands ie a report containing your Document layout. Please note that if you are ever instructed by WorkDESK

4 VARIABLES & FORMATTING COMMANDS 4.1 THE DOCUMENT FORMATTING COMMANDS

As we saw in Chapter Two, there are a number of formatting commands that allow you to manage the layout of your printed output (eg draw lines, print on a new page, change fonts etc). These formatting commands enable you to make full use of the capabilities of your laser printer to produce attractive final Documents. The formatting commands are set out in the tables on the following pages. Please note that these are system-wide formatting commands that are recognised by all WorkDESK modules (they are not variable names). Before you begin learning all of the DocumentWriter formatting commands in this section, there is one very useful piece of information of which you should be aware. Measurement units in a Document layout are always specified in tenths/thousandths of an inch. Thus if you intend to master Document layouts and fully understand them, it is advisable that you purchase a ruler which has units in tenths of an inch. This will enable you to more easily envisage the sizes with which you are dealing. It will also come in handy if you wish to create layouts for preformatted pages, as you will be able to use your ruler to measure your stationery and determine the exact positioning of any variable information on those pages. Take special care to read the “TAKE CARE:” advice where it exists, and always read any text beneath the “RULE:” heading. If you are trouble-shooting your Document layouts, you should always check to see that you have followed the “RULE:”s (if any apply to the commands that you may have used in your layout).

COMMAND DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE <##> PAGE NUMBER

Print the current Page number. eg Page <##> produces: Page 2 (or Page 3) etc, depending on current page.

<-#> PAGE NUMBER RESET Reset the current Page number to 1.

eg <-#>

<B><b> BOLD PRINT ON/OFF <B> = Turn Bolding on <b> = Turn Bolding off. All characters printed after <B> will be printed in bold if your printer supports bold letter printing. To turn off bold printing, specify <b>.

eg <B>Hello there!<b> How are you?

produces: Hello there! How are you?

<BIN#> Select Paper bin on current printer. NOTE: The paper bins or trays on your printer are “numbered” by the printer driver software provided by the printer manufacturer. You will need to “experiment” to find out the bin numbers on each of your printers.

eg <BIN2> This will eject and load paper from the 2nd paper bin.

<BMARGIN###> BOTTOM MARGIN Sets the bottom margin to the value specified in tenths/thousandths of an inch. TAKE CARE: BMARGIN### MUST BE MEASURED FROM THE TOP EDGE OF YOUR SHEET OF PAPER. If you have a Dot Matrix Printer, use the <FLEN###> command (see over page).

eg <BMARGIN050> OR <BMARGIN05000> if <HIRES> is selected

produces: a bottom margin that starts at a position 50 tenths of an inch from the top edge of the Page Block.

• PRINT A BULLET POINT See section 4.18 (page 77) for the steps required to set up the font and include this character in a document.

<C> CENTRE Turn centre printing on. The current line of text will be centred.

eg <C>Hello there!

COMMAND DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE <DATE> Print Today’s Date in dd/mm/yy format.

TAKE CARE: If you use <DATE> in Invoice and/or Pay Advice Document layouts, the date that prints in your final Document will be the Pay to /Invoice to Date (ie Timesheets up to Date).

Eg 15/7/09

<DECTAB>

DECIMAL TAB Moves the next print head horizontally to the next Tab stop position (ie the Tab stop specified in a previous <SETTAB> command). The decimal point or colon in the value (: for Hours and Minutes) will be positioned at the Tab stop.

Eg 19.86 $1.0465 186.01

<END> END OF LAYOUT The end (last instruction) of the Document. This command must be included on the last line of every Document template (and should not be placed anywhere else in the layout).

<FEEDSTART##> FEEDSTART Allows the user to specify the starting position of a Formatted Invoice or Pay Advice, on a new page, in tenths/thousandths of an inch from the top of the page. It also enables the user to specify where the print head will be positioned after a form feed. TAKE CARE: <FEEDSTART> is valid ONLY for use in Formatted Invoices layouts and Pay Advice layouts. This command is used when you are printing within a Timesheet, Allowance or Receipt box and a page feed is required before the list of entries is complete. When all the BODY commands have completed for the new page, the print position moves to the position specified.

Eg <FEEDSTART22> OR <FEEDSTART2200> if <HIRES> is selected

<FLATFILE> FLATFILE When used, must be specified as the first command in a Document layout. This command enables you to produce a simple comma delimited file, without page headings etc, on your computer’s hard disk. The resulting flatfile is then suitable for ‘export’ to other computer software packages such as Microsoft Excel.

<FLEN###> FORM LENGTH Sets the length of a matrix printed form in sixths/sixhundredths of an inch. It is the same as the <BMARGIN> command for Laser printed forms. TAKE CARE: DO NOT USE THIS COMMAND IF YOUR FINAL DOCUMENT WILL BE PRINTED ON A LASER PRINTER.

eg <FLEN060> OR <FLEN06000> if <HIRES> is selected

<FP###> FROM PAGE Print starting from the page specified (and exclude all previous pages).

eg FP003

COMMAND DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE <GBOXuu,vv,www,xxx,yyy,zzz> DRAW A GRAPHICS BOX

uu (##) specifies the Width or thickness of the line in pixels on the page. vv (##) specifies the shading Percent/ Style that is specific to your printer. Refer to your Printer Manual to determine which values to use. HP printers use Shading Percentages, Canon Printers use Graphic Style numbers. www (###) starting Vertical position in 10ths/1000ths of an inch from the top edge of the page xxx (###) starting Horizontal position in 10ths/1000ths of an inch from the left edge of the page. yyy (###) Vertical Height of the box in 10ths/1000ths of an inch from the 3-999 value. zzz (###) Horizontal Width of the box in 10ths/1000ths of an inch from the 4-999 value. The GBOX command must always be specified before any text that is to appear inside the box. But otherwise, this command can be specified at any time, and from any position within the Document template. The printer’s current print head position will not have moved if you were part way through outputting TEXT when using GBOX.

eg <GBOX1,0,10,25,5,30> OR <GBOX1,0,1000,2500,5,30> if <HIRES> is selected

produces: a graphics box that is one pixel thick, with no shading inside. The box begins at a vertical position that is 10 tenths of an inch from the top of the page and a horizontal position that is 25 tenths of an inch from the left edge of the page. This box will have a vertical height of 5 tenths of an inch and a horizontal width of 30 tenths of an inch.

<GLINEaa,bbb,ccc,ddd,eee> DRAW A GRAPHICS LINE: aa (##) Specifies the Width or thickness of the line in pixels (your printer will usually print 300 or 600 dots (pixels) per inch). bbb (###) Starting Vertical position in 10ths/1000ths of an inch from the top of the page ccc (###) Starting Horizontal position in 10ths/1000ths of an inch from the left edge of the page. EITHER: ddd (###) Vertical Height of the line in 10ths/1000ths of an inch from the 3-999 value, if the line is to print vertically. If you specify ddd, then eee must be specified as 0. OR: eee (###) Horizontal Width of the line in 10ths/1000ths of an inch from the 3-999 value. If you specify eee, then ddd must be specified as 0. The GLINE command can be used at any time in a Document, and from any place within the Document template. The current print head position will not move if you are part way through outputting TEXT. RULE: Either the Vertical Height ddd or the Horizontal Width eee must be specified as 0. This will tell the WorkDESK software the direction in which to print the line. Only Horizontal and Vertical lines are supported by the DocumentWriter software. Diagonal lines are not.

eg <GLINE1,45,65,34,0> OR <GLINE1,4500,6500,3400,0> if <HIRES> is selected

produces: a graphics line which is one pixel wide. This graphics line starts at a vertical position that is 45 tenths of an inch from the top of the page, and a horizontal position that is 65 tenths of an inch from the left edge of the page. In the case of this graphics line, the vertical height of the line has been specified, and so the horizontal width has been specified as 0.

<H><h> PAGE HEADING INFORMATION <H> = Marks the start of Header text. <h> = Marks the end of Header text. This command sets up the format of the header information that is to be printed at the top of each page. RULE: The command <H> must be entered on a line by itself before the text of the header is entered, and the command <h> must be entered on a line by itself after the text of the header has been entered. All text and commands between the <H> and <h> commands will be repeated each time a page feed occurs.

eg <H> Section One <h> <HP>

produces: the heading “Section One” on every page after each <HP> (hard page break) is executed.

<HH###> HARD HORIZONTAL Hard Horizontal Tab. The print head is moved horizontally to the position specified as ### tenths/thousandths of an inch from the left edge of the page.

eg <HH056> or <HH05600> if <HIRES> is selected

produces: a result in which the print head moves horizontally to a position 5.6 inches or 56 tenths of an inch from the left edge of the page. This movement occurs irrespective of where the print head was prior to the execution of this command.

COMMAND DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE <HP> HARD PAGE BREAK

Perform a hard page break and proceed to a new page ( page feed). (See also PAGE).

<HPARTS##> HORIZONTAL PARTS Specifies the number of horizontal blocks that are to fit on a Page. Each block is then considered to be one page by the printing software, with the page numbers incrementing with the blocks. This command allows you to position multiple Pages horizontally across one sheet of paper. It can be used in conjunction with the <VPARTS##> command to produce grids of pages. RULE: NEVER use this command as the first command on the first line of a Document layout. Use it at the top of your Document layout, immediately after the margin commands.

eg <HPARTS02>

<HV###> HARD VERTICAL Hard Vertical Tab. The print head is moved vertically to the position specified as ### tenths/thousandths of an inch. TAKE CARE: This command will only work if you are using a Laser printer.

eg <HV044> OR <HV04400> if <HIRES> is selected

results in: the print head moving vertically to a position 4.4 inches or 44 tenths of an inch from the top corner of the Page. This movement occurs irrespective of where the print head was positioned prior to the execution of this command.

COMMAND DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE <I><i> ITALICS ON/OFF

<I> = Turn Italics on. <i> = Turn Italics off. All characters printed after <I> will be printed in italics if your printer supports italic letter printing. To exit from italic printing you specify <i>.

eg <I>Hello there!<i> How are you?

produces: Hello there! How are you?

<JUSTIFY> RIGHT JUSTIFY TEXT Sets Margin Justify mode to on. Starting from this point onwards all paragraphs are fully justified between the left and right margins. To turn JUSTIFY off, specify the <NORMAL> command. RULE: This command must NEVER be placed on a line of its own, but positioned at the start of the first paragraph to be justified.

eg <JUSTIFY>

<LAND> LANDSCAPE PRINT Print this Document in Printer Landscape mode. RULE: <LAND> must be on the first line of the Document layout (but it does not necessarily have to be the first command).

eg <LAND>

<LENGTH###> LENGTH OF PAGE Set the Bottom Margin. This command performs exactly the same function as the BMARGIN command.

eg <LENGTH100> or <LENGTH10000> if <HIRES> is selected

produces: a bottom margin which is set at 100 tenths of an inch from the top edge of the page.

<LINE###> PRINT BLANK LINES Prints the number of blank lines specified.

eg <LINE001>

<LMARGIN###> LEFT MARGIN Sets the Left margin to the value specified by ### in tenths of an inch. NOTE: When you begin to design resume layouts, you may wish to “justify” education details, employment history details etc. Use this command and no other to justify your text in this case.

eg <LMARGIN005> or <LMARGIN00500>

produces: a left margin of 5 tenths of an inch from the left edge of the Page.

COMMAND DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE <LOGOpp,qq,rr,ss,filename>

PRINT LOGO Print a graphics file whose name appears at filename, starting at location pp,qq of height rr and width ss, where: pp is the number of tenths/thousandths of inches from the top of the page; qq is the number of tenths/thousandths of inches from the page left edge; rr is the height of the graphic in tenths /thousandths of an inch; ss is the width of the graphic in tenths/thousandths of an inch; filename is the name of the logo file (eg WorkDESK or mainlogo or footer, where WorkDESK, mainlogo and footer are graphics files of type .BMP, .JPG or PCX, from the directory containing Document Layouts). Filename should appear in the LOGO command without the three-letter extension (eg mainlogo NOT mainlogo.jpg). This command must not be the first command in the Layout.

eg <LOGO5,5,50,40,WDlogo> or <LOGO500,500,5000,4000,WDlogo> if <HIRES> is selected

produces: a logo called WDlogo which is positioned 5 tenths of an inch from the top edge of the page, and 5 tenths of an inch from the left edge of the page. This graphic is 50 tenths of an inch high and 40 tenths of an inch wide. The WDlogo is stored in the tempsys\text\layouts directory, where it would exist under its full name – eg WDlogo.jpg (or WDlogo.bmp or WDlogo.pcx ).

<NORMAL> TEXT JUSTIFY OFF Sets Justify mode off. No print justification is performed on paragraphs following this command.

<NOSPLIT><nosplit> NOSPLIT START/END <NOSPLIT> = Start of a non-splittable area. <nosplit> = End of a non-splittable area. Text between these two commands will not be split over a page break. If there is too much text and this forces a page break, the page break will be made at the beginning of the text block, and the text will be printed on the next page. RULE: The command <NOSPLIT> must be entered on a line by itself before the text of the non-splittable area is entered, and the command <nosplit> must be entered on a line by itself after the text of the non-splittable area has been entered. All text and commands between the <NOSPLIT> and <nosplit> commands will be kept together as a block at all times and not split by a page break.

eg Ensure that all information in relation to a Candidate’s prior job history prints on the same page.

4.13 EMAIL COMMANDS The minimum you need in a Document to create an email compatible Document is <BODY> /<BODY>. Email Documents can be plain text or HTML formatted with graphics and text.

Some recipients may not be able to receive HTML emails and each Candidate/Client has a select box to specify Text Only and disable HTML transmission . WorkDESK will attempt to strip the HTML specifics from your Document when it is sent to a recipient who has Text only selected. When using HTML commands you need to follow the rules of writing HTML code. These rules and the commands available to you are outside the scope of this Manual. If you are not familiar with authoring HTML documents we recommend you purchase a book on HTML available from any good technical bookshop. Before a Consultant may send Documents formatted as an email, the Consultant must have a correctly formatted email address in System Miscellaneous Maintenance Consultants Add/Alter. You may request to receive a Delivery Receipt/Read Receipt from your recipient. Please be aware, that your recipient must have both these facilities available for your email to be acknowledged (not a WorkDESK issue). The Receptionist default Consultant Code ‘!REC’ is not a valid Consultant Code for the purposes of emailing from WorkDESK. Variable Name Candidate Information <BODY> Commences the body of the document. Requires a </BODY> tag

elsewhere in the document (see example below). This tag may be in lowercase.

</BODY> Marks the end of the body section of the document. Requires a matching <BODY> somewhere above this code.

<TITLE> </TITLE>

Text between these two tags will appear in the ‘Subject:’ field of the email.

<HTML> </HTML>

Text between these two tags is to be treated as HTML.

The following is an example of a ‘Congratulations’ Email Document to be sent to a Candidate.

<TITLE>Congratulations</TITLE> <html> <body> <p>Dear <AFNAME><br> <br> Congratulations on your new position at <CLIENT> starting on <JCOMM> at <JSTART>.<br> <br> I will give you a call after you start and look forward to hearing how you are settling in.<br> <br> I would personally like to thank you for registering with WorkDESK Recruitment and giving us the opportunity to find this position for you.<br> <br> Good luck on <JCOMM>.

4.15 PRINTING A BULLET POINT A Bullet Point character is located in the standard Microsoft Font ‘Wingdings’. To print a Bullet Point in a WorkDESK Document you have to first set up this font so that WorkDESK may reference it: Select System System Control Printer Setup You will be presented with a list of printers (some of which may be blank). If you are running in a Microsoft Terminal Services/Citrix environment, you will most likely have only a DEFAULT printer set to avoid Window’s creating session printers within WorkDESK.

4.16 ADDING A NEW FONT Select the Printer (click the printer name then click Change Printer Button). WorkDESK is designed to have a maximum of 20 printers so change printer rather than Adding new ones. The screen will display similar to the following:

Click Add button and enter the WorkDESK Font number you will use to reference the font. As part of this process, you will define a numeric entry (numbered 11 to 99) to allow the Document Writer to reference your chosen font.

When setting up a printer, the printer will have a Default Font (see Font Selection Button on the Printer Settings screen). You will need to create a Font Reference for your Default Font as well as any additional Fonts you may need. In this example we are using Ariel as Default and Wingdings for the bullet points:

Enter the Font number you will use within WorkDESK and press Select Font:

Select the Font, Font Style and Size as shown above then click OK. Click Continue on the Printer Settings screen. Repeat the above steps adding font 21 as Wingdings. The following will be the result in the printer settings screen.

Click Save to store your changes in the system. You will need to repeat this process for every printer where Document Writer will need access to bullet point printing.

4.17 SELECTING A FONT Select System Miscellaneous Maintenance Documents Add (or Alter) the Document.

• The key requirements are to have as the very first instruction, the selection of your default font (eg <P20>)

• Set the Left Margin to be used for your letter (eg <LMARGIN014> for 1.4 inches from the page edge)

• Set the Right Margin for the right hand side of the document (eg <RMARGIN070>)

• At the point you wish to insert the Bullet Point, use another Left Margin setting to position the Bullet Point (eg <LMARGIN018>)

• Select your Wingdings font (eg <P21>) • In the Wingdings font the letter ‘l’ (L for LIMA) is the character which

corresponds to the Bullet Point • Set the Left Margin at the point where the text for the Bullet Point will

commence printing. Text which wraps to the next line will print from this point. If you wish to fold the lines of text at a different Right Margin than is set for the page you may use another <RMARGINxx> command at this point (eg <LMARGIN020> or <LMARGIN020><RMARGIN050>)

• Reset the font back to the font used for the letter or the font you wish to use for the Bullet Point text (eg <P20>)

• Enter the text to appear as a bullet point.

4.18 THE BULLET POINT EXAMPLE When you put all these instructions together you would have the following:

<LMARGIN018><P21>l<LMARGIN020><P20>This is text point 1

<P20> <LMARGIN014><RMARGIN070><POINTS12> <TODAY> <LINE002> <S><CONTACT> <S><TITLE> <S><CLIENT> <S><ADDRESS1> <S><ADDRESS2> <POSTCODE> <S><ADDRESS3> <S><U><ADDRESS4><u> <LINE003> Dear <SALUT> This is an example of a letter printing out a bullet point: <LMARGIN018><P21>l<LMARGIN020><P20>This is text point 1 <LMARGIN018><P21>l<LMARGIN020><P20>This is text point 2 <LMARGIN018><P21>l<LMARGIN020><P20>This is text point 3 <LMARGIN014> This is normal text. blablabla this bla bla bal. This is normal text. b

6 CREATING DESIGNS - STEP BY STEP

The following pages give step by step instructions to manually create an Invoice (all Timesheet combinations), Pay Advice, Resume, Client Letter and Label Layout. You must first understand the contents of WorkDESK DocumentWriter Manual, Chapters 1 to 5.

6.1 TEMPORARY INVOICE

There are three forms in which a WorkDESK Invoice can be printed:

1. A single Timesheet per Invoice 2. All Timesheets per Job Order on the one Invoice 3. All Timesheets per Client on the one Invoice

This Invoice Document tutorial explains how to create these three different types of Invoice layouts and is based upon standard Document Layouts INVTB1 to INVTB3.

Step 1: The first step in creating your Invoice layout is to enter commands to establish the overall page structure of the Document. For further information about these commands, see section 4 of this Manual. Type in the following commands:

<LMARGIN004><RMARGIN080><BMARGIN117><DPMAX2> <ILEN10> <-#> <BODYSTART>

COMMAND DESCRIPTION

LMARGIN004 Sets the Left hand margin to be 4 tenths of an inch from the left hand margin of the page.

RMARGIN080 Sets the Right hand margin to be 80 tenths of an inch from the left hand margin of the page.

BMARGIN117 Sets the bottom margin to be 117 tenths of an inch from the top of the page.

DPMAX2 Specifies that the Maximum number of decimal places to be printed for any rates will be 2. The default value for DPMAX is 4.

ILEN10 Sets the number of Timesheet lines to be printed on one Invoice page to 10. When 10 lines of Timesheet detail have printed, a page feed will occur and the commands between BODYSTART and BODYEND (see below) will be replayed

-# Resets the current page number to 1 BODYSTART

and BODYEND These commands work together. All other commands that appear between BODYSTART and BODYEND will be “re-played” when the number of Timesheet lines to be processed on an Invoice form is exceeded (the number specified by ILEN). A new piece of paper is loaded and the boxes, lines and text are drawn for the new page.

Step 2: Positions boxes and lines on the page, as well as printing appropriate column and other headings. Full description of the GBOX and GLINE commands is given under the System Variables section of section 4 of this Manual.

Type in the following commands:

<GLINE1,12,4,0,36><GLINE1,24,4,0,36> <GBOX1,10,24,4,3,10><GBOX1,10,35,4,3,74><GBOX1,0,38,4,3,74> <GLINE1,35,10,6,0><GLINE1,35,63,6,0> <GBOX1,10,43,4,3,74><GBOX1,046,4,41,74> <GLINE1,43,10,44,0><GLINE1,43,28,44,0><GLINE1,43,48,44,0> <GLINE1,43,56,44,0><GLINE1,43,64,44,0><GLINE1,106,4,0,74>

COMMAND DESCRIPTION

GBOX & GLINE

print the column lines and boxes on the page for the top half of the Invoice Document.

The measurements for the GBOX and GLINE commands are always in 10ths of an inch, EXCEPT the 1st and 2nd parameters in the GBOX command, which are the line width in pixels, and the shading percentage, respectively. ALSO, the 1st parameter on the GLINE command is the line width in pixels.

NOTE: ONLY ONE OF the Width OR the Height for the GLINE command

can have a value (ie one of these values must be zero). You can only print vertical or horizontal lines, not diagonal.

Step 3:

Defines standard text that will appear on each page of the Invoice. Type in the following commands:

<POINTS36><HV11><HH04>Invoice <POINTS12><HV18><HH04>Date: <DATE> <HH04>Invoice Number: <INVOICE> <HH04>ABN <HV26><HH06>Client <HV26><HH16><CLIENT> <S><HH16><ADDRESS1> <S><HH16><ADDRESS2> <S><HH16><ADDRESS3> <ADDRESS4> <POSTCODE> <HV37><POINTS10>Page<HH11>Attention<HH66>Purch.

AB74> <POINTS08><HV48><BODYEND>

COMMAND DESCRIPTION

POINTS commands

Sets the font print size for the currently selected font. The current font, will default to the “Default Font” for the currently selected printer, when no font is specifically chosen for this Document

HV commands Sets the vertical print position, measured in tenths of an inch from the top of the page

HH commands Sets the horizontal print position, measured in tenths of an inch from the left of the page

DATE Prints the Invoice Date in the form dd/mm/yy

INVOICE Prints the current Invoice number. This number increments by one, each time the END command is encountered by the printing program (see END at Step 5 in this Document layout).

CLIENT Prints the Client’s Name on the Invoice S Stops a blank line printing if all data fields on the line are blank

(ie contain no data). ADDRESS and

POSTCODE commands

Prints out the Client’s Address and Post Code.

INVPAGE Prints the page number of the current Invoice. JOBCON *** Client Contact Person for the first Job Order on the Invoice. JORDER *** Job Order code, for the first Job Order CLEARTABS Clears all the tabs set previously

SETTAB Defines a printing “tab” stop, measured in tenths of an inch from the left hand margin of the page.

NOTE: *** With this format layout, when multiple Timesheets print on one

Invoice, only the Contact Person and Job Order code for the first Job Order will print. To include the Contact Person/Job Order, etc for each individual Timesheet, the relevant commands will need to be included between the JSTART and JEND commands.

Step 4: Prints information from each Timesheet. Type in the following commands:
