{openingbalance} and {closingbalance}

This displays the opening balance. This balance is calculated when the process of printing the statement is started. This balance is updated during the process of producing the statement depending on what is shown on the statement. The matching 'closingbalance' tag is calculated by taking the openingbalance and adding items from the following other personalisations.

  • 'all pledge items' when the paidamount tag is used
  • 'tax item list grouped' when the amount tag is used
  • 'track1 group list' when the amount tag is used
  • 'track2 group list' when the amount tag is used
  • 'all items' when the amount tag is used
  • 'income' when the amount tag is used

{income}

For those people who are connected to a tracking category (xero users only), as a 'recipient who receives money', this personalisation allows you to list the transactions received as income.

Font tags

Some of the above personalisations appear in tables. Simply using the editor to change the font of the personalisation does not affect tables, therefore an additional tag is needed to tell infoodle to use the font within the table.

The format is font[dejavusans/12pt]

This has 4 parts

  • font[ : the keyword, must be lower case and preceded by a space

  • dejavusans : this is the font to use. dejavusans is a good one to use, alternatives are shown in the drop down choice of fonts in the edit

  • 12pt : this is the font size to use. Again, use the same values that are available in the drop down list in the editor

  • ] : Closing the keyword. There is also a space after this (or the closing } of the personalisation.

Conditional Tags

This feature allows for the scenario when a column needs to contain one of several values, depending on where that value is. This is typically used when trying to output the purpose a transaction was used for. In most cases "description" is sufficient. In curtain circumstances you may want to output the Tracking category Decode if its there, and use the description if its not.

To achieve this use the ^ between the field tags. e.g.

tc1decode^tc2decode^description

This outputs Tracking Category 1 decode if it has a value - otherwise it outputs Tracking Category 2 decode if that has a value - otherwise it uses the description.

Widths

Some personalisations output in tables - e.g. {all items}. You may need to control the column widths for these. This is possible by adding the letter > then a number of pixels you want to expand the column by beyond the current setting - i.e. this number is added to the current default value. e.g.

description>50

Renaming columns headings

Some personalisations output in tables - e.g. {all items}. You may need to control the heading word each column. This is possible by adding the letter | then the heading you want to use. e.g.

description|Information

If you want a space in the name - use the _ character e.g.

description|Item_Information

If you want to change the column heading and the width e.g.

description|Item_Information>50
