Configuring Systems Engineering > Customizing Word export templates
Property name syntax in specification templates and object templates
Caution: Do not use property names in the Word content of requirement, paragraph, or block objects. Property names in object content (for example, {%body_text}) cause an infinite loop in the export process, and error messages are not displayed.
You can find property names in the Business Modeler IDE. Properties with dynamic or cascading lists of values (LOVs) cannot be modified with live Word.
Rules for using property names in export templates
- The property being specified must be enclosed by braces (
{ }). - The property name must be preceded by a percent sign (
%). - The property name must be the real property name specified in Business Modeler IDE.
Example: to include the object name property in a template, use {%object_name}.
Caution: The {%object_name} property name is required in object templates intended for export to the Live integration with Word output mode. Without this property name, such a structure cannot be edited in live Word.
Styles applied to the {%body_text} property name in the object template do not affect the output in the export document. To specify formatting in the export document, ensure the specification template contains the same styles applied to the Word content of the object itself.
