== Chapter 10: Correcting Errors (if you have them), Setting LinkRole Names on Association Classes, and Creating OpenDocument Reports ==
302. Create some intentional errors, for example, by renaming the '''CartransferOwnershipDocuments''' to '''CartransferOwnershipDocument'''. Save and practice following the error leads from the red dots and fix the error.

303. Create some intentional errors, for example, by changing the expression of a class action on '''Car'''. Save and practice finding the error from the red dots. Fix the errors, save, and ensure you have a clean model with no errors.

304. Find the link class '''HistoricOwnership'''. Select the association and change from ''<Default>'' to '''HistoricOwnerships''' (with a plural '''s''') in the LinkRoleName on both association ends for the associations. Save and check for errors.

305. Fix the errors by clicking on them and updating the expressions to reflect the new name ''HistoricOwnership'' -> '''HistoricOwnerships'''.

306. Drop the '''ShowCar''' action that does not have a ViewModel to show.

307. Create a New ViewModel called '''ProperCarView'''. Set the Class to '''Car''' and select '''Requires Root'''.

308. Add a Class Action to bring the '''ProperCarView''' up.

309. Show the ''RegistrationNumber'' in the '''ProperCarView''' by adding a column. 

310. Also, add the ''State'', ''BrandOfCar'', and ''CarOwner'' - make them static to avoid editing. 

311. Add the multilink for '''CarTranserOwnershipDocuments''' as a grid.

312. Add columns in this grid, ''Seller'' and ''Buyer'', and remove the AsString default column. 

313. Start the web prototype. Search cars and open the '''ProperCarView''' on a '''Car''' that has '''CarTranserOwnershipDocuments'''. 

314. Add a Class action: '''ProduceDocument''', and give the ''ExecuteExpression'' the value of
 self.opendocumentreportshow(CarTransferOwnershipDocument.ViewModels.TheTemplateForCarTransferOwnershipDocumentReport)
* Expect the error due to not having the '''TheTemplateForCarTransferOwnershipDocumentReport''' ViewModel yet.
315. Create a '''TheTemplateForCarTransferOwnershipDocumentReport''' ViewModel. Set the class to '''CarTransferOwnershipDocument''' and check the Requires Root box. 

316. Right-click the menu in the ViewModel tree. Add the columns needed for a report. Expect the ''TemplateUrl'' and ''ReportFileName'' ViewModelColumns.

317. Verify that the action that was faulty before now finds the '''TheTemplateForCarTransferOwnershipDocumentReport'''.

318. In the '''TheTemplateForCarTransferOwnershipDocumentReport''' ViewModel, click on the ''UsePlacingHints'' to hide the UI part of the ViewModel. (also see the Turnkey Live Editor below) 

319. In the FileMenu ''ShowCurrentModelDirectory'', check the model file name: <code><span class="col-black">"Start.modlr"</span></code>. Create a folder named '''Start_AssetsTK''' and read about [[AssetsTK]] on the Wiki. 

320. Create a folder called <code><span class="col-black">Content</span></code> in '''Start_AssetsTK'''. 
* Start Word, click on a new document, and write: <code><span class="col-black">this will be my template</span></code>. 
* Save as ODT format in Start_AssetsTK/Content and call the file: <code><span class="col-black">ThisWillBeMyTemplate.odt</span></code>
321. Close Word to avoid file lock while MDriven Designer tries to access it.

322. Check that your app URL is starting with <nowiki>http://localhost</nowiki>:... Test '''<nowiki>http://localhost</nowiki>:<port>/content/ThisWillBeMyTemplate.odt''' - Ensure you can access the template (you must use the port number you often use).

323. In the ViewModel for the template, in the Template URL, set the string value <code><span class="col-black">'<nowiki>http://localhost</nowiki>:<port>/content/ThisWillBeMyTemplate.odt'</span></code>

===== <span class="col-blue-dark">Solving issues</span> =====
If downloading the template doesn't work, doublecheck the model name. The name of the "AssetsTK" folder is based on the model name, ''<u>except</u>'' the ".modlr" part. If the model file is called "MyStart.modlr", then the folder name should be "MyStart_AssetsTK". Avoid additional dots and other special characters in the model name.

Using the Turnkey Live Editor avoids these problems by creating the correct folder name, but the video doesn't use that editor.

===== <span class="col-blue-dark">Turnkey Live Editor</span> =====
'''<span class="col-blue-dark"><span class="col-black">Alternatively, select the Turnkey Live Editor</span></span> [[File:Turnkey_Live_Editor_small_icon.png|frameless|40x40px]]  found in the top menu of the MDriven Designer:'''
# In the pop-up window, look for the purple tab named "'''AssetsTK Sync'''" on the right and click on it.
# When it unfolds, look to the extreme left to see a "'''Start_AssetsTK'''" folder (Or "whatever name your model is_AssetsTK").
# Right-click on the folder and select "Open".
# Follow the instructions above to create the Content folder and Word document and retry downloading the template.

324. Set the ''ReportFileName'' expression to<code><span class="col-black">'TheSalesReportForCar'+self.Car.RegistrationNumber+'.odt'</span></code>

325. Test the '''ProduceDocument''' action and ensure you get a document with the name from the RegistrationNumber. 

326. In the template odt, add <code><span class="col-black">%meta%</span></code>. Save and close. Resave the model to upload. 
* Test the '''ProduceDocument''' again and verify that you can see the expanded properties from the '''%meta%''' tag.
327. Head back to ViewModel for the template and add '''Buyer''', '''Seller''', '''RegistrationNumber''', and '''Brand''' (<code><span class="col-black">self.Car.Brand.Name</span></code>). 

328. Test the '''ProduceDocument''' action again. Copy the expanded ViewModel data names from the document and paste them into the original document. This will be expanded into data.

329. Write a text in the template and mix in the tags: '''The buyer named %Buyer% has purchased the car %RegistrationNumber% of type %Brand% from %Seller%'''

330. Turn off spellcheck in the document so that the tags are not distorted in the resulting file. Save and close Word. Save the model.

331. Test the '''ProduceDocument''' action again. Ensure you get a document with tags expanded to data according to the definition in your template ViewModel.
