Refresh the folder in PTF if it throws a .Net exception during re-run of a test case


Tips for formatting issues in XMLP

Hi, I have the below observations regarding formatting and alignment issues that i have frequently faced. I will keep this updated!


  1. Leave at least one empty line at the beginning of the document. This will help you to understand the page margins when you place the cursor there. Then you need to align your tables with the margin.
  2. If you want to expand the table, FIRST go to empty line and expand/adjust the page margins and THEN the table margins  . With these alignments, any custom table should show up as-is without any problem
  3. If two tables seem to have stuck to each other, try marking the below table's text wrapping as "Around" and you can drag it out and place at a desired position

  4. It is best if you wrap the full document as a repeating group with For-each of the topmost parent node (here , disciplinary action)
  5. Any bullet item pushed off by extra spaces(even though in the template it doesnt seem to have any), place the cursor in the begin of the bullet and hit backspace sufficient times(you wont see anything getting cleared) till you see it right in the preview
  6. For checkboxes, first go to Developer tab and switch on the "design mode". Always insert ONLY 'Legacy" checkbox. NEVER "Active" ones:

  7. Also if you want to see the checkbox, associate it with some dummy tag. For example:
