Important Updates to Custom EPD Report Templates

Updated yesterday

This article is describes recent changes to Custom EPD Report Templates

Custom EPD Report Templates are updated regularly in line with changes to the software, Program Operator reporting requirements, and other general improvements.

It is important to keep your custom report up-to-date so that it is populated with the correct values from the software and it is fully compliant with the GPI and PCR of the Program Operator.

For end-to-end tools, please note that updating your custom template means that it needs to be submitted for reverification in order to use it.

The updates are detailed below based on when they were introduced, with the most recent updates at the top.

End-to-end templates

  • The placement of uploaded images (like on the cover page) was changed so that images are now resized proportionally to fit the defined space.

All templates, except for EPD Hub end-to-end tools
