Advanced PDF templates for Saved searches.

We can define multiple print templates for a single saved search using Advanced PDF/HTML Templates for any record type.

The main reason to consider this feature is that we can use the power of saved searches to format data.

Steps to create a template for printing saved search results.

  • Go to Lists > Search > Saved Searches.
  • Click Edit on the saved search you want to create a template.
  • Click the New Template button.
  • A new advanced template appears, which includes all of the results fields from the saved search. The Advanced Template Editor generates a template with the saved search results in a table. All of the fields listed on the Results subtab of the saved search are displayed as table columns. if your search has a column for amount you get the value with ‘result.amount’
  • Make changes to the template as required.

OR

  • Go to Customization > Forms > Advanced PDF/HTML Templates.
  • click the New Template button at the top of the page.
  • The Template Setup window appears.

  • Change the template title and settings as required.
  • In the Saved Search field, select the saved search template and then click Save.

NOTE:

  • If there is more than one Formula (Date) field in the saved search, reference the fields by using ${‌result.formuladate} for the first field, {result.formuladate_1} for the second field, ${result.formuladate_2} for the third field, and so on.
  • Internal Id is not available for any field unless it is specified as a separate output field on the Results subtab of the saved search.
