D.6.6. Printing a Category

When you print a Category to an HTML document, all related Substance and Template datasets including all contained Endpoint study / summary records are included in the Document selection dialogues for sections 1 to 3 and sections 4 to 13, respectively. This provides great flexibility as to which elements shall be used for the print-out:

To print a Category

  1. Go Home to the Task panel if you are not already there.

  2. Under Category , click Update.

  3. In the Query results pane, right-click the Category to be printed and from the menu displayed, click the Print command (or select the Print command from the File menu).

  4. The Print assistant comes up and guides you through a nine-steps Print dialogue: Verify or change the default properties (i.e. for which the records shall be printed), specify output path, file name and other print options, and click the Finish button.

  5. The HTML document created can be opened from the respective folder, viewed and printed.

Note

The Print Category feature is almost identical with the Create Category Dossier feature, except for some Dossier-specific settings (see chapter D.8.2.5 Creating a Dossier for a Category). This is why the same "Dossier templates" are provided. This term should not be mistaken for the "Template" feature. A Dossier template defines which Endpoint sections shall be included in a Dossier or print-out. This is equivalent to the "view mode selector" described in chapter D.4.3.3.1 Section tree pane, which displays only sections needed for the chosen requirements. However, it is possible to set a certain view mode for entering endpoint data (e.g. view mode "Complete"), but use another setting of selected sections in the print-out.
