PDF printing "Internal display" settings 'default'

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I'm having problems PDF printing web applications made in WAD 7.0.

We have created a button triggering the EXPORT command and left everything set to 'default'.

Internal display = 'default', Data binding = 'default'.

All our 7.0 web templates contain text elements (title, etc.), an INFO_FIELD_ITEM block (with tray), a FILTER_PANE_ITEM (with tray), CONDITIONS_LIST_ITEM (with tray), EXCEPTIONS_LIST_ITEM (with tray) and one or more ANALYSIS_ITEM and CHART_ITEM (all with tray).

Everything except the FILTER_PANE_ITEM end up in the PDF, however not all present the tray. Only the conditions and exceptions have a tray in the PDF. Since the tray contains the name of what the it represents underneath, especially the analysis and chart item need to have the tray displayed.

How can I switch this on generically (not for each report individually)?

I don't know which Internal Display webtemplate is chosen when it's set to 'default'. It's not 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN_EXPORT, because if I set the Internal Display to 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN_EXPORT, my output changes completely (and not for the better).

Can I find the 'default' Internal Display somewhere in the system? SPRO? I'd like to adjust the default value to always display a tray.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Eduard,

In WAD, like analysis grid, filter, charts, there's another object listed called information. Here, under the properties pane you can choose to define what is to be displayed (There's several options like Author, Title, Filters, Restrictions etc..)

You may customize and show it in the output. Moreover you can add all the mentioned elements in a container. This container object can be exported as excel using a call to the EXPORT function.

Thanks Arun, but Excel export is not the issue.

All the info fields (title, user, date, webtemplate name, etc.) we can print and that's all fine. But... We need the tray of the ANALYSIS_ITEM and CHART_ITEM to be visible. The tray contains the name of the query (DP1, DP2, etc.) and we'd like to see it.

Now, if a webtemplate has more than one chart, the PDF will not tell you which chart is which. The title of the tray is automatically filled in the WAD (with the query name) and we don't want to manually add titles to all chart and graph items. We'd have to do this for all webtemplates, which should be necessary.

Besides, the conditions and exceptions items dó show a tray. Why not for the ANALYSIS_ITEM and CHART_ITEM?

So basically, what I'd like to know is: Where I can find which "Internal Display" webtemplate is used as 'default' and how I can edit it? I know that it isn't 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN_EXPORT, so which one is it then?
