Multipage/Duplicate Template Reports

[ChrisCTL]

Kia Ora

We have an app for order management but would like to generate multiple labels that can be printed & attached to the freight. (Sent to an email and printed to a Thermal Printer via software that monitors the inbox folder)

The table has a column named "PrintQuantity", the app user will enter a number of labels they want printed. This will be added to a table via form alongside the information to be printed.

Can the bot/app monitor that column and duplicate the pdf report to that count? So if they enter 2, the pdf report will have 2 pages of the exact same report and information.. hope that makes sense

Cheers,

Chris

So yes this should be possible.  You've have to sort 2 things.  Firstly you'll have to setup your <<START: Select() function so that is produces 1 record per number of pages requested.  You'll also have to mess a little as to where the <<END>> bit goes But in general you want to look at:

<<START: Select(...   )>>

<<[Line Item]>>

- - - Page Break - - 

<<END>>

You're finally also going to have to make this work with a page size thats not A4 or Letter and possibly even Landscape.  Not something that Appsheet handles very well 'out of the box'.  Some people I think have had success using HTML/XML templates rather than using Google Docs etc
