Template creation

Template creation

Curia Contract Review creates templates for your account based on information you provide, including:
  • Examples of your existing reports
  • Your branding elements
  • Your specific business logic

Templates in Curia Contract Review use two main components to dynamically generate content: merge tags and conditional blocks. This article explains how these components work and how they're used in template creation.


How do merge tags work?

Merge tags are placeholders in your template that are replaced with specific input from Curia Contract Review when a report is generated.

  • Merge tags are enclosed in double angle brackets: <<merge_tag>>
  • When the report is generated, the platform replaces the tag with the corresponding data

Examples of merge tags include:

  • <<delayed_settlement_interest_rate>>
  • <<land_address>>

How do conditional blocks work?

Conditional blocks are sections of content in your template that only appear in the final report if certain conditions are met.

  • Conditional blocks allow for dynamic content based on specific rules or criteria
  • These rules can be simple or complex, depending on your requirements
  • Conditional blocks can be nested within each other for more intricate logic

Examples of conditional block rules:

  • Simple: Show a section if the delayed settlement interest rate is greater than 8%
  • Complex: Include a paragraph if the purchaser intends to perform work AND there is no complying development certificate

How are merge tags and conditional blocks used together?

Merge tags can be used within conditional blocks to create even more dynamic content. For example:

  1. { if delayed_settlement_interest_rate > 8%}
  2. We recommend reducing the delayed settlement interest rate from <<delayed_settlement_interest_rate>>% to 8%.
  3. { endif }


What is 'static content' in templates?

Static content refers to any content in your template that is not a merge tag or inside a conditional block. This content will appear in all reports generated from the template.

Examples of static content include:

  • Headings
  • Introductory paragraphs
  • Glossary of terms
  • Explanations of fields. E.g.: First Home Buyer Assistance Scheme and link to documentation. 
  • Closing statements

How do I request changes to my template?

To request changes to your template:

  • Contact the Curia support team and discuss your requirements.
  • The support team will work with you to implement and test the changes
