Business Process Print Wizard

The print wizard is designed to create a template with specified named areas and a print procedure for a business process.

The wizard operates in step-by-step mode where after completing a group of succeeding actions you should click the Next> button to proceed to the next group and the result of the performed actions will affect the content of the new dialog box.

The wizard operation depends on the selected run mode. Below you will find a description of the variants of the wizard operation depending on the mode selected in the configuration setup.

If Managed application and ordinary application is selected in the settings, the wizard will offer you to choose the form type in the first step. If Managed form is checked, the wizard builds the print form for the managed mode, as described in Managed Application Mode; otherwise, it builds the print form for the ordinary mode, as described in Ordinary Application Mode.

If Managed Application is selected in the settings, the wizard will immediately begin operation for the Managed Form mode.

Managed application mode

In the first step, the wizard asks you to define command to build the print form. Default name is Print.

If this command already exists, you can select it, and the wizard will overwrite it from scratch. The text previously entered in the body of the procedure will be lost. You can select command from the list of existing commands.

When you click Next>, the wizard proceeds to select header attributes. Create the attribute list using move buttons.

If the business process has tabular sections, then after pressing Next> the wizard proceeds to select attributes for the first tabular section. Move the required attributes. If there are multiple tabular sections, then after pressing Next> the wizard proceeds to select attributes for the next tabular section.

When you click Next>, the wizard proceeds to select footer attributes. Create the attribute list using move buttons.

In the last step, specify command to which the group belongs, and specify view mode for the print form. If Print without preview is checked, then View-only table and Table protection checkboxes are disabled.

Pressing OK closes the print wizard.

As a result, the wizard generates the template, inserts CommandProcessing() and Print() procedures in the specified command, and inserts Print() in the manager module.

Ordinary Application Mode

In the second step, the wizard asks you to select location for the report generation procedure, if it is a new procedure, and enter the name of procedure which will build the print form. Default name is Print.
It may be located in the module or in the form module (in the latter case, specify which form will contain the procedure). If no form was created yet, the procedure may be placed only in the module.
If the procedure already exists, you can select it, and the wizard will overwrite it from scratch. The text previously entered in the body of the procedure will be lost.

When you click Next>, the wizard proceeds to select header attributes. Create the attribute list using move buttons.

If the object has tabular sections and the business process form is selected, then after pressing Next> the wizard proceeds to select attributes for the next tabular section. The print list is generated the same way as the header attribute list. When you press Next>, the wizard proceeds to select footer attributes.

If the list form is selected, the wizards skips creation of tabular sections and footer.

In the next step, the wizard asks you to select call mode for the procedure, and view mode for the print form.

Pressing OK closes the print wizard.

This generates a template and a print procedure in the specified form.
