Configuring Controlled Print Headers and Footers

You can configure the headers and footers used in the PDF files that are generated as controlled prints.

See Properties for Controlled Print Headers and Footers.

  1. Create or open the text file for customized properties. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.
  2. To configure the header used in the PDF files generated as controlled prints, follow these steps:
    1. Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object: 

      QualitySystemDocument.Approved.CompanyName.ControlledPrintHeader = DOCOControlledPrintHeader

    2. There is no default header defined, so you must define the DOCOControlledPrintHeader table.
  3. To configure the footer used in the PDF files generated as controlled prints, follow these steps:
    1. Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object: 

      QualitySystemDocument.Approved.CompanyName.ControlledPrintFooter = DOCOControlledPrintFooter

    2. If you want to change the default footer, you must edit the DOCOControlledPrintFooter table.

      The default footer table is defined as:

      Controlled Copy<Type>|<Name>|<Rev><Print Number>
      where:
      • Controlled Copy indicates that the PDF is a controlled print of a released controlled document.
      • <Type> is object type this PDF was generated from. For Quality-based Document Control, the type will be Quality System Document or any other custom type derived from the CONTROLLED DOCUMENTS type.
      • <Name> is the name of the released controlled document from which the controlled print PDF was generated, usually an automatically-generated name.
      • <Rev> is the revision of the released controlled document from which the controlled print PDF was generated.
      • <Print Number> is the unique number assigned to the controlled print.

  4. When you are finished updating the text file with all properties that you want to modify, use the text file to modify the enoDocumentControl.properties page object. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.
