Hi Everyone,

I need your help:

I enhanced 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN to include UserID / DateTime information when Export to PDF and excel. I added Info Filed in this template and added this new web item in BUTTON_TOOLBAR_2 Button 3 (Print Version) and 4 (Export to Excel). UserID / DateTime displayng on web is fine and Exporting to Excel is fine also. Only problem is when clicking on Print Version the UserID / DateTime information is not showing in PDF. I created a new button to Export PDFand it's working fine. Somehow just this toolbar button Print Version has issue with Info Field.

Can anyone help me to resolve this problem?

Thanks, Jin

Hi Jin, did you get this sorted? I had a very similar issue, got it fixed in the end.

Hi Jin.

I have tried using the separate print template method but didn't manage to get it to work (and not very excited about the concept anyway as it means even more web templates to manage).

But I got it to work without using a separate print template, by inserting the InfoField as part of the Filter Area (because I didnt want it displayed in the face of the Web when the report was run initially). But it seems to be that as long as the InfoField is displayed somewhere in the Web, then it can be exported/printed. Having done the data binding step, obviously.

You mind if I pick your brains (offline) re the print template method?

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for the info and points are rewarded to you.

What I did is: add another info field in that template to make it work (just one is not enough). hope it helps.

So Jin, in your opinion, is there now any reason for you to need a separate print template, or could you combine all the functionality on to your main template? In other words, have you identified any oths of having a separate template, to offset the issue of maintaining multiple templates?

Thanks,

Hi Patrick,

one advantage is that I can control the sequence / format easily.

Hi Jin.

I understand what you mean about controlling the sequence.

What sort of control of formatting does it enable though? Does it allow control of font size, for example?
