Formatting Item Print Templates

#1 · April 21, 2021, 10:50 am

Been struggling to make item print outs to look "professional". Read through the post here regarding print templates. The page displays examples of bold table borders with rounded corners and check boxes in use by choice columns. From the looks of it, I need to be savvy in HTML, CSS and Javascript. Can anyone suggest a WYSIWYG HTML / CSS editor? Regarding Javascript and the JSOM, can you suggest a site or book that can get me up and running quick?

thanks!

Bob

Appreciate the links. I have already gone through those articles. Time is my problem. I don't have enough to get savvy at CSS and HTML.

Looking for a WYSIWYG html/css editor that I can copy the source and paste into the html view of the print out.

Hi Bob,

1. Item print has a WYSIWYG html editor (see screenshot below), but for advanced formatting we to work with html directly.

2. w3schools is a good reference to work with html directly. URL: https://www.w3schools.com/html

3. One alternative is to generate a word document with required formatting and then print it. Please refer generate document action in Custom Action from: https://www.crowcanyon.info/nitro/appmanual_v2/generate-document.html
