HTMLLayouter
Allows users to combine web reports generated by the HTMLReportGenerator into a bootstrap grid or vertical layout.
Input Ports
This transformer expects input features to have valid HTML created by the HTMLReportGenerator in their html_content attribute.
Output Ports
Multiple input features can be used to create a single output feature storing a single output HTML page in the html_content attribute. All input attributes and geometries will be lost on the output feature.
Page Settings
This attribute allows users to specify an HTML title for the output page (This is the title that will appear on the tab in a browser).
Grid Settings
Allows the user to specify whether they would like a vertical or grid layout. In a vertical layout, sub-pages are simply stacked on top of each other in the order they reach the transformer. If grid layout is specified, a Section Column and Section Row value must be specified. The width of each column will be determined by dividing the width of the page equally between all columns in the row.
Allows the user to specify the column where a feature's sub-page should be located in the grid layout. This must be a numeric value that can start from any number. Values will be sorted numerically to determine their order in the grid.
Allows the user to specify the row where a feature's sub-page should be located in the grid layout. This must be a numeric value that can start from any number. Values will be sorted numerically to determine their order in the grid.
Style Settings
- None: There will be no borders around the sections.
- Solid Border: Each section will have a border.
- Vertical Dividers: Vertically adjacent sections will have a border between them.
Editing Transformer Parameters
Using a set of menu options, transformer parameters can be assigned by referencing other elements in the workspace. More advanced functions, such as an advanced editor and an arithmetic editor, are also available in some transformers. To access a menu of these options, click beside the applicable parameter. For more information, see Transformer Parameter Menu Options.
Defining Values
There are several ways to define a value for use in a Transformer. The simplest is to simply type in a value or string, which can include functions of various types such as attribute references, math and string functions, and workspace parameters. There are a number of tools and shortcuts that can assist in constructing values, generally available from the drop-down context menu adjacent to the value field.
Using the Text Editor
The Text Editor provides a convenient way to construct text strings (including regular expressions) from various data sources, such as attributes, parameters, and constants, where the result is used directly inside a parameter.
Using the Arithmetic Editor
The Arithmetic Editor provides a convenient way to construct math expressions from various data sources, such as attributes, parameters, and feature functions, where the result is used directly inside a parameter.
Conditional Values
Set values depending on one or more test conditions that either pass or fail.

Content
Expressions and strings can include a number of functions, characters, parameters, and more.
When setting values - whether entered directly in a parameter or constructed using one of the editors - strings and expressions containing String, Math, Date/Time or FME Feature Functions will have those functions evaluated. Therefore, the names of these functions (in the form @<function_name>) should not be used as literal string values.
These functions manipulate and format strings. | |
Special Characters |
A set of control characters is available in the Text Editor. |
Math functions are available in both editors. | |
Date/Time Functions | Date and time functions are available in the Text Editor. |
These operators are available in the Arithmetic Editor. | |
These return primarily feature-specific values. | |
FME and workspace-specific parameters may be used. | |
Creating and Modifying User Parameters | Create your own editable parameters. |
Dialog Options - Tables
Transformers with table-style parameters have additional tools for populating and manipulating values.
Row Reordering
|
Enabled once you have clicked on a row item. Choices include:
|
Cut, Copy, and Paste
|
Enabled once you have clicked on a row item. Choices include:
Cut, copy, and paste may be used within a transformer, or between transformers. |
Filter
|
Start typing a string, and the matrix will only display rows matching those characters. Searches all columns. This only affects the display of attributes within the transformer - it does not alter which attributes are output. |
Import
|
Import populates the table with a set of new attributes read from a dataset. Specific application varies between transformers. |
Reset/Refresh
|
Generally resets the table to its initial state, and may provide additional options to remove invalid entries. Behavior varies between transformers. |
Note: Not all tools are available in all transformers.
