Formatting Reports
Configure the reports to be sent to Autotrac interface using the
StringForm report template in the Reports view. You must always use
the StringForm report template for creating reports to the Autotrac
system.
The report must be formatted with the following restrictions:
-
The maximum message length is 1900 bytes.
-
The ASCII messages use 6-bit coding for the transmission. This
means that only the character codes from 32 to 95 (from <space>
to "_") are allowed in the reports. The interface checks the presence
of illegal characters, and conflicting messages are rejected with a
warning.
When needed, extra spaces can be removed from the report as follows:
1.
Insert a separator, that is, a cell containing, for example, a space or
comma between the values.
2.
In the Cell properties tab, enter 1 for Field width. This causes all
cells to consume only the space needed for presenting the current
value.
