Generating a PDF from an Athlete's Data- The layout will be different depending on where you generate the PDF
To print an Athlete's data, there are a number of places where a pdf can be generated from.
"Save and Print" in the Event Form
Some Event Forms are set up with "Save and Print". The example here shows that this record has been set up so that the Event can be Saved, and a PDF will be generated.
The "Printed" PDF will be generated using a Landscape layout.
However, some Event Forms set to "Save and Print" are set to print specifically in a Portrait View
This Injury Record has specifically been set up so that the Form will be presented in a Portrait View (as shown in the image below).
The Save and Print will generate the PDF using a Portrait View
On the Athlete History Module (and Reports Module), you can generate a PDF of the History Table, or generate a PDF(Form) of all of the Entries displaying all of the Event Form Fields
When you click on "PDF" all of the Data shown in the History Table will be generated as a single pdf. This will be displayed in Landscape view
When you click on "PDF(form)" all of the Event Form data will be displayed by Event Form, and the all entries will be displayed in a single pdf shown in Landscape view
A 1 column layout will show as 1 column (e.g. all Event Form Fields running down the page). This will always display in Landscape Mode
A 2 column layout will condense the data into two columns (e.g. all Event Form Fields running down the page).
If you selected 3 or 4 columns, then it would try and condense down. However, depending on the type of data you are displaying it may not display correctly at all.
N.B. If you Generate a PDF for an Event Form that has been set up with a "Portrait" Page Print Layout, this will NOT be applied during the PDF or PDF Form
The Injury Record was set specifically to print as a "Portrait".
The "PDF" will display the History Data in a Table; which will always show in Landscape
The PDF(form) will also always display in Landscape, regardless of the Event Page Print Properties. This is because it may need to condense the data into up to 4 columns
However, if users specifically need to print all Event Form Data in a Portrait Layout (like that generated using the PDF (form) button), the Print Module will perform this
Select the Athlete/Athletes that you want to generate the PDF for; a separate PDF will be generated for each athlete
Select the Event Form you want to Print (e.g. the Injury Record)
Select to see data across a specific data range. You can also choose to see planned or completed data
Most importantly, click on 1 column of Data and select the "Portrait View"
Click on Run Report to generate the PDF.
N.B. You can save it and the reports settings can be used again if you need
A PDF report is generated for each athlete; if you only selected on athlete only 1 file will download; if you selected multiple athletes a zip file will download with all data, and each athlete's individual data
The data will appear as one pdf and the data will be displayed in a portrait view
The ability to generate the PDF(form) in Landscape or Portrait from the Athlete History and Reports pages is now available
