Auto-generated HTML template structure and constructs
Pages generated by the Data Page builder have a common structure that is based on constructs. A construct is a building block of a displayed page. By changing an HTML master template you can alter the way a construct displays a page element. Each construct is composed of sub-elements that define its content. For example, some basic page constructs include:
- Table
- Wrapper
- Label
- Title
- Column
- Header
- Header sorted
- Column data
- Display Group
- Wrapper
- Label
- Group
- Field
- Display field
- Data entry field
The system provides HTML master templates that include all the constructs that are generated by the Data Page builder. Typically, you will create derivative HTML templates from these master files. By editing the sections of the HTML template that define the constructs of interest, you can control how page elements are displayed.

- Construct name qualifiers
Inside an HTML template file, you can have several different examples of each named construct.
- Constructs
Each HTML template file is composed of constructs. A construct describes a specific portion of page HTML that the Page Automation system generates. There are 16 basic constructs that constitute a generated page.
- Fitting constructs together
The critical part of building your own template is understanding how the constructs fit together.
