Create / Generate Image with BO Data Overlay?

Post by T0M »

Is it possible to populate a generic image with BO.Attr data "overlay" to make it personalized to users?

Like issuing a ticket ..which then has ticket number, user ID, date and name printed on it.

I thought of buying such image/template and may be able to "print" userdata on it.
So if user logs in and is presented the image.. it should have his personal data.

How to do that? Any pointers?

(I'm not sure if to start with report designer -where i see image, but no data overlay onto that image- or i may need to fiddle somewhere else?..)

Perhaps a REST service that produces a ticket document would be a good solution. There seem to be a number of people doing this. Eg https://iwannaticket.com.au/features. They may offer more functionality than you actually want.

Thanks for that iwannaticket link.. noted that for later. (You're right.. way more stuff than needed.. )

I'd love to get it done within native AwareIM functionalities if possible (got the feeling it sure is.. but no idea how)

..having the blank ticket as background image on a report? .. and fiddle with positioning?
