Creating an Export Builder DOCX Template
Export Builder templates are DOCX files that define the structure and formatting of your exported documents. You add placeholder tags in the format {{field_name}} that will be replaced with RegScale data during export generation.
General Guidelines
- Use
{{double_curly_braces}}to mark data fields. - Tag names should match field names where possible for auto-mapping.
- You may apply bold, italics, font size, and color—formatting is preserved.
- For images, wrap the tag in a Word textbox for scaling.
Supported Placeholder Examples
| Data Type | Placeholder Example | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Text | {{systemname}} | Plain text, stripped of HTML. |
| Date (MM/DD/YYYY) | {{authorizationDate}} | UTC format MM/DD/YYYY. |
| Date (YYYY-MM-DD) | {{authorizationDateYYYYMMDD}} | UTC format YYYY-MM-DD. |
| Checkbox (Yes/No) | {{checkboxYESNO}} | Requires a Select List with "Yes" and "No" values (Form Builder). |
| Checkbox | {{checkbox}} | Boolean field checkbox. |
| File Name | {{authorization-boundaryfilename}} | Returns file name from file field. |
| Image | {{authorization-boundaryimage}} | Must be in a Word textbox to scale properly. |
Tables
Static Table Example
| Label | Tag |
|---|---|
| Security Plan ID | {{securityplanid}} |
| System Name | {{systemname}} |
| Categorization | {{categorization}} |
Repeating Table Example
| Issue ID | Title | Severity | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|
{{issueid}} | {{title}} | {{severity}} | {{issueowner}} |
Place child module/subform tags inside tables to enable proper data looping.
Mixed Table Example
| Control | Implementation Status |
|---|---|
{{control}} | {{implementationStatus}} |
Lists
To export bullet lists or line-separated values:
• {{levauthtitle}}
