Template Examples
Download example Microsoft Word templates to see how Monolith report variables, loops, tables, photos, and Chain of Custody data can be used in Custom Report Templates.
Template Examples provide downloadable Microsoft Word .docx files that demonstrate how Monolith report variables and template syntax can be used in real report layouts.
Use these examples as a starting point when building or troubleshooting your own Custom Report Templates.
You can open a template to review how variables, loops, tables, images, and other report logic are structured, then adapt the approach to match your organization's reporting requirements.
Standard Monolith Report
The Standard Monolith Report is an example of a complete templated report generated by Monolith.
This example demonstrates several common Custom Report Template techniques, including:
Report variables
Case information
Evidence data
Evidence loops
Microsoft Word tables
Evidence photos
Other supported report content
Download the template and review it alongside the Template Variables documentation to see how Monolith data is placed throughout the Word document.
Chain of Custody With Signatures
The Chain of Custody With Signatures example demonstrates how to output Chain of Custody records for an Evidence Item, including signature images.
This example is useful when building a report that needs to display custody history in a structured Word document format.
Use it as a reference for:
Evidence loops
Nested Chain of Custody records
Custody metadata
Signature images
Repeating custody information within a report
See Template Variables for the supported Chain of Custody variables and syntax.
Using the Example Templates
When working with an example template:
Download the
.docxfile.Open it in Microsoft Word.
Review the Monolith variables and template syntax used throughout the document.
Compare the syntax with the corresponding entries in Template Variables.
Modify a copy of the template for your organization's report format.
Upload the revised template to Monolith.
Generate a test report and review the output.
Continue refining the template as needed.
Starting from a working example can make it easier to understand how Monolith data and Microsoft Word formatting work together.
Managing Your Templates
Once you have created a reusable report template, save it in Settings > Document Templates so it can be selected again for future Cases.
Templates can also be marked as Shared so other Monolith users can select and reuse them when generating reports.
See Document Templates for additional guidance.
