another printing question

Post by tkilshaw »

Using Aware how is it possible to print, for example, a form letter that is to go to 50 clients.

What is desired is to get a found set of records, click a button and have 50 copies of the letter printed.

As far as I can see Aware will require that someone clicks 50 or 100 times to get the actual printing to happen.

Am I missing something?

thanks,

Terry

Terry,

There are two ways it can be done. One is to have a process with a single PRINT DOCUMENT action in it. Such process can be used as an operation on a query marked as applicable to multiple items. The user can select (tick) multiple items in the query result table and then click the operation once, which will print a separate template-based document for each selected item.

The other way is to put the query as a first step of the process and the PRINT DOCUMENT action as the second step, for example:

PICK ONE OR MORE FROM MyClients
PRINT DOCUMENT ClientLetter

If no user selection is required the process would look like this:

FIND MyClients
PRINT DOCUMENT ClientLetter
