Schedule Tags Documented

Article Number: 29 | Rating: Unrated | Last Updated: Mon, May 17, 2010 at 3:18 PM

This article explains what the <TAGS> mean in the Schedule_????.rtf templates in case you want to modify them.

For example you may want to:

change the date format from "Short Date" to "Long Date"
separate the student name from the study point and setting
separate the talk 3/4 speaker and the assistant, removing the "/" separator

Note: the tags are language dependent and many strings will look up their values in the language INI file. They are denoted by uppercase strings often with underscores eg. RPT_SONG

<RECIPIENT> this prints the batch list recipient's name. For templates without this tag, the name will append in parentheses after the congregation name in the title

<TITLE> = congregation name & " " & RPT_SCHEDULE_TITLE (in the language.ini file)
eg. Stoney Creek Theocratic Ministry School Schedule

<DATE> = the date of the school in "Short Date" format as specified in Control Panel >> Regional Settings
the date can be either the Monday of the week, or the actual date (like Tues. or Thurs) as specified in Preferences

<DATE_LONG> = same but formatted "mmmm d, yyyy"

<SONG> = RPT_SONG & " " & " " & song #

<SONG_LONG> = RPT_SONG & " " & song # & " - " & song title
(true, the Song technically isn't part of the TMS anymore but it's still convenient to show it)

These are the new CBS tags:

Labels:
<LBL_CBS> = LBL_CBS_ABBREV (simply "CBS" in English)
<LBL_CBS_PRAYER>
<LBL_CBS_CONDUCTOR>
<LBL_CBS_READER>

Data:
<CBS> - this will be a single line field with all the CBS participants listed together

It may be more desirable to separate the individual brothers on separate lines
<CBS_PRAYER>
<CBS_CONDUCTOR>
<CBS_READER>

<SOURCECBS> = the source material for the CBS

Bible Highlights:
<LBL_H>= RPT_H
<SPKRH> = Fullname of speaker
<SOURCEH> = Talk Source
(no theme for Highlights)

<LBL_MAIN> = RPT_MAIN
<LBL_MAIN_LONG> = RPT_MAIN & " " & RPT_SCHOOL

<LBL_SECOND> = RPT_SECOND
<LBL_SECOND_LONG> = RPT_SECOND & " " & RPT_SCHOOL
(or blank if there is no B school)
If a Book Study is assigned as an audience, append to both strings RPT_AUDIENCE & ": " & Book Study Description

<LBL_THIRD> = RPT_THIRD
<LBL_THIRD_LONG> = RPT_THIRD & " " & RPT_SCHOOL
(or blank if there is no C school)
If a Book Study is assigned as an audience, append to both strings RPT_AUDIENCE & ": " & Book Study Description

Talk 1:
<LBL_1> = #1
<SOURCE1> = Talk Source
(no theme)
<SPKR1A> = Speaker of student
*special cases*
If it is an Oral Review WITHOUT a specified reader, <SPKR1A> = RPT_ORAL_REVIEW
If it is an Oral Review WITH a specified reader, <SPKR1A> = RPT_ORAL_REVIEW & " (" & RPT_READER & " " & Fullname of reader & ")"
If it is a CO visit, <SPKR1A> = RPT_CO_VISIT
<SPKR1A_SEP> = Student WITHOUT the Study Point
<ASST1A> = Fullname of assistant
(used by only one person to my knowledge; a TMSO in Hong Kong where sisters give #1 talks as sitdown demonstrations)

repeat for B and C schools, replacing A with B and C

Talk 2:
<LBL_2> = #2
<SOURCE2> = Talk Source

<SETTING2A> = Setting (or blank if switched off)
<ASST2A> = " / " & Fullname of assistant
<ASST2A_TRIM> = Fullname of assistant WITHOUT the " / "

repeat for B and C schools, replacing A with B and C
