Custom PDF Forms can be generated out of the application with the data stored in Ignatius. You will be able to upload a fillable PDF file; you can then map Table fields onto the PDF. When generated, the PDF will be populated with the data based on your configured mapping.
Note: Forms will be associated with a Report when they are being created. With this, you will be able to map an existing report's fields onto the PDF form.
Since forms are linked to reports when forms are being created, reports will have to be created prior to creating PDF forms. |
To Add a PDF Form:
Make sure a report has been creating prior to adding a form. See Add Reports Section on how to create reports.
