Using Excel Report Templates
The Block tag contains several other tags. It indicates a structure such as
that of the Event table, where you insert rows and columns. Only one block
tag group should be specified per sheet.
Note: These tags are supported for the OTDR Event table and iOLM Element and
Section tables.
The prefix for the block tag is ##, and the suffix is ##.
The prefix for inserting rows is [[, and the suffix is ]].
The prefix to insert column blocks is [[##, the suffix is ##]].
To add multiple blocks, such as for the iOLM element and section table,
add a + sign between the prefix/suffix and the tag.
For example, adding a second block would look like this: [[+##tag##+]]
Adding a third block would look like this: [[++##tag##++]]
You do not need to add a + sign to add a row, as the number of rows will
remain the same in the case of multiple blocks.
[[prefix and]] suffix to specify
field for which column should
be inserted.
[[##prefix and ##]] suffix to
specify fields for which values
should be filled for multiple
rows and columns.
