Template designer

Other export apps make you write XSL-FO, Velocity or Groovy. Exportelier gives you a canvas, a component palette and a live preview — you design templates like a deck, not like a build script.

What's in the box

  • 23+ drag-and-drop components — layout blocks, fields, repeaters, comment lists, worklog tables, change history, SLA & approval lists, and signature blocks.
  • Live PDF, Word & Markdown preview — see exactly what ships while you edit, against realistic sample data, with a one-click DOCX download.
  • Code mode for power users — a full Monaco editor with compile-and-preview, when you want it. Never because you have to.
  • Version snapshots — every save is restorable in one click, and you can restore the bundled defaults at any time.
  • Layout control — portrait or landscape, A4 or Letter, with margins and page breaks.

A typical workflow

  1. Start from a bundled template or a blank canvas.
  2. Drag components onto the page and bind them to Jira fields.
  3. Group and repeat content (for example, group a sprint report by status).
  4. Watch the live preview update against sample data.
  5. Save — a version snapshot is created automatically.
Restore anything

Because every save is a restorable snapshot, you can experiment freely. If a change doesn't work out, restore the previous version — or the bundled default — in one click.

Eight ready-made templates

Exportelier ships with eight polished default templates so you get a useful document from the first minute, before you design anything of your own.
