Streamlined Document Generation

Top  Previous  Next

Document generation in Contracts, Deliveries and Invoices has been changed to eliminate pop-up messages and steps needed to generate a document.

 

Generating a Document from the Documents Section on a Form

Now if you edit the Document section on a form, when you select the Generate button, only a small rotating progress indicator appears.

 

Doc_gen_generate_wait

 

The Generate button is disabled until the generation is completed.  When done, document is still saved in the Agiblocks attachments folder but there is no pop-up message to clear.  Instead, the document is either opened or saved according to which type of browser and browser settings you are using.  Examples:

 

Firefox

Fire_fox_doc_gen

 

Chrome

Chrome_doc_gen

 

Microsoft Edge

doc_gen_Edge

 

When you want to generate the same document again, there is no longer a pop-up to fill in with a reason for generating the document again.  Instead, you now should now fill in a reason field in the Generation section of the document before selecting the Generate button.

 

Doc_gen_reason

 

If you do not specify a reason for generating the document again, you will receive an error message.

 

doc_gen_reason_error

 

Should you get this error, select OK, fill in the reason field and select the Generate button again.

 

Note: A reason is only required after initially generating the document when generating a document using the Documents section.

 

Generating a Document from a List

You may still select the Generate icon from the command line on a list to generate a document.

 

doc_gen_from_list_button

 

After the initial document generation, selecting to generate a document from a list will automatically add the word “Regenerated” in the reason field.
