Problem exporting to excel when using embedded web templates through WAD

[Former Member]

Using web templates designed with WAD, we are experiencing an issue when trying to export excel when using embedded web templates.

We have set up tabstrips within our templates that load other templates (embedded into the global template).

Upon right clicking on any query and choosing "Export to Excel", any query that is in one of the tabs using the embedded web template item does not show up. Any queries in natively in the global web template will export and show up fine.

Any thoughts on how to enable something like this, or workarounds to make this work? We decided to split up these templates for performance reasons and can't go back from that decision. Also let me know if you need a better explanation of what we're trying to do.

Thanks in advance!

Create table and place different container item or container layouts in every columns(rows if you require) of the table.Use different tabs inside the various container items. In Command wizard for Export to excel choose various Container Items( container layouts) in Item binding.

Hi SDBI,

Is this in place of loading a new template per tab? We are using container layouts in all of our templates so we can link things into tabstrips as well, we have just split up some templates to be embedded into tabs for performance reasons and data locking.

Also when exporting, we are looking for all of the items displayed at that time to be exported, however only the items from the global template show up, not all of the displayed queries. For example, anything outside of the tabstrip will export perfectly, but since the query embedded into the template the tabstrip is loading is not part of the native web template, it does not show up.

Seems like a tool limitation to me when embedding templates?

Thanks,

Jon

Sorry I think i understand now. So this wouldn't use the right click functionality because it's using the command wizard so it would have to be placed on a button.

Hi,

As far as I know, executing an export to excel command in a WT with tabstrips will export only the web items that are currently displayed on screen (for eg, the tab that is visible currently).
