Using Excel Report Templates

The Block tag contains several other tags. It indicates a structure such as
that of the Event table, where you insert rows and columns. Only one block
tag group should be specified per sheet.

Note: These tags are supported for the OTDR Event table and iOLM Element and

Section tables.

The prefix for the block tag is ##, and the suffix is ##.

The prefix for inserting rows is [[, and the suffix is ]].

The prefix to insert column blocks is [[##, the suffix is ##]].

To add multiple blocks, such as for the iOLM element and section table,
add a + sign between the prefix/suffix and the tag.

For example, adding a second block would look like this: [[+##tag##+]]

Adding a third block would look like this: [[++##tag##++]]

You do not need to add a + sign to add a row, as the number of rows will
remain the same in the case of multiple blocks.

[[prefix and]] suffix to specify
field for which column should
be inserted.
[[##prefix and ##]] suffix to
specify fields for which values
should be filled for multiple
rows and columns.
