Follow these recommendations to keep your endorsements consistent, reusable, and easy to manage.
1. Build endorsements using basic HTML tables
This helps endorsements retain their formatting when they are generated in a document.
2. Style endorsements using your document CSS
Add the required styling to the CSS at the top of your documents. This keeps the appearance of your endorsements consistent.
3. Use a clear identifier
You will need the endorsement identifier when building your rules. Keep it clear and concise to reduce the chance of errors.
4. Use system IDs to make endorsements dynamic
Add system IDs inside square brackets wherever SchemeServe should insert a value. For example:
[MP_BuildingsSI]Dynamic values allow one endorsement to cover more scenarios, reducing the number of separate endorsements you need to maintain.
5. Use the correct system ID suffix
Make sure each system ID includes the suffix required for the value you want to display. For example:
[MP_BuildingsSI_Cover]See the Rating File Guide for more information about suffixes.
6. Apply document formatting where required
Format dynamic values in the same way you would elsewhere in a document. For example:
##[MP_BuildingsSI_Cover].ToString("C2")##.png)
