Capabilities of the Scaffolding Macros

The Scaffolding macros are available in an add-on distributed by Service Rocket, whose website

• Create forms to fill in
• Collect and display data
• Manipulate and evaluate data
• In conjunction with the Reporting macros (not installed on the NCI Wiki), create reports from data
• Using live-templates, create pages with forms and data; these forms and data will change dynamically wherever the template is used, each time the template is updated.

Service Rocket organizes the macros in a hierarchy as follows:

• Tables (table-data)
• Templates (live-template)
• Fields
  • date-data
  • eval-data
  • excerpt-data
  • get-data
  • group-data
  • hidden-data
  • number-data
  • repeating-data
  • set-data
  • text-data
• Lists (list-data)
  • label-options
  • content-options
  • list-option
  • attachment-options
  • user-options
• Attachments (attachment-data)
