Print templates

Reference — Overview of print templates and the print editor

What you use this area for

Print templates determine what printouts from Herzog CAB look like – e.g. a production accompanying sheet for the order, a material list, a label or a calculation report. You design the templates once in the Print editor and then use them as often as you like for the actual printing.

The print editor: element palette on the left, page canvas in the center, properties on the right.

You reach the print editor via the navigation item Print editor. Templates are stored centrally per workspace (under Printouts/templates/) and are therefore available to all operators of the same workspace.

A template applies to exactly one usage

Every template has a Usage: calculation, design or order. It determines in which selection dialog the template appears later and which elements are available in the palette. Details under Editor layout.

Where a template is offered for printing, depending on its usage:

flowchart LR
  D[Print editor:<br>design the template] --> V{Usage}
  V -- Calculation --> B[Print on a<br>calculation page]
  V -- Design --> G[Print in the Designer]
  V -- Order --> A[Print in the braiding order<br>and in the winding order]

Permission required

You can view templates with the permission View print templates; to edit and save you additionally need Edit print templates. More on this under Roles.
