t On the printed copy, identify the data Sections. A Section is an area of data with
common row and column formatting. A yellow highlighter marking pen can make it
easy to see the Sections as you work with programming the mapping table. Your
custom Expense Report can contain any number of Sections, and the same data can
be repeated in any Section.
t On the printed copy, identify the type of Labels that apply to each Section. Each
Section can have only one kind of Fixed or Variable Label for rows. Likewise, each
Section can have only one kind of Fixed or Variable Label for columns.
t Place a copy of your custom Expense Report in the Templates folder (in the Palm
Desktop directory). Change the file name so it has the file extension.xlt (which
defines it as a Microsoft Excel Template). Make a note of the exact file name so it
can be defined in the mapping table file.
Programming the Mapping Table
Once you have analyzed the components of your custom Expense Report, you can program
the mapping table to fill the report with data from the SPT 1500 terminal.
To program a new custom mapping table:
1. Open a copy of the Maptable.xls file in Microsoft Excel.
Note: This file is located in the same folder as the Palm Desktop application.
Make a backup copy of this file before you make your modifications.
2. To map a new template, scroll to where you find the name of the original template
that you chose for your modifications. The name of the template appears in column
B of the Maptable.xls file, next to the cell highlighted in green that reads “Template
Name:”. If you did not modify an existing template, move to any table in the
Maptable.xls file.
3. Select all the rows associated with the template name. To select the rows, click and
drag on the row numbers (left side), so they appear highlighted.
