Manager for details on how to change or edit the text file used
as a template.
A template file is also used to generate the text displayed on
the General Status Line. That template file is of the same
format, and may use any of the keywords or commands used
in the Custom Summary Window.
If you want to experiment with either the custom summary
template or status line template, you should make a copy of it
first so that any changes you make can be abandoned if they
don't work out so well.
The custom summary window gives you unprecedented
flexibility and control over what information is displayed, and
(optionally) what information is automatically emailed or sent
to your Twitter account. You might (for example) create a
very brief custom summary that gets sent to as a text message
to cell phones (assuming they can be reached via an email
address), or a highly specific and descriptive custom summary
that is to be emailed to a list of clients. It is entirely up to
you.
If you have chosen to email the custom summary, the first
line of text in the custom summary will be used as the title of
the email. See the Email Options Dialog for more
information.
The text file that generates the Custom Summary window
consists of a series of statements. A statement may either be
a conditional statement (one starting with if) or a command.
The most frequently used commands are the ones used to
write text into the window (the #Write and #WriteLine
commands).
A comment line is any line beginning with a semicolon (;)
character. Comment lines will not be included in the Custom
Summary window. They are mainly for use in complex
custom summary templates so that you can explain how you
are using the various keywords in the template.
