What is a Template?

A Template is a customizable format for viewing and exporting data. The Designer (WYSIWYG) editor is a user-friendly tool that lets Users create Templates without knowing HTML. You design Templates visually, seeing exactly how they will look, while the editor handles the HTML. This makes Template creation accessible to everyone, even those without technical skills.

Anyone, especially those familiar with web development, can create the perfect layout for displaying data, including mail merge letters, itemized invoices, calendars, and more. Informer uses a templating language called Nunjucks to inject data into placeholders in the completed HTML Template. View Templates directly as a webpage or export them to PDF for easy sharing.

An example Template of an invoice.

See the following worked examples. Each one was created in Informer using Templates.

• Hello World: the default Template in Informer. Use it as a starting point for more complex Templates.
• Invoice: a document showing how much a party owes for goods or services, populated with data from your instance.
• Custom Letter: take data from Informer and add it to a custom-styled HTML or PDF document.
• Award Certificate: recognize people for their achievements with an Award Certificate.

Also available through the REST API

Everything on this page is built on Informer's public REST API, the same one the product uses, so your scripts and integrations can do it too. Developer reference: Reports.
