Creating an Article List

pCon.planner_article_list_01

An Article List is created by means of the corresponding button on the Configurator tab in the Configurator group (see screenshot on left). After the click on the button you can choose whether all articles of the design should appear in the list or only the current selection of articles (lower screenshot). You can also decide whether to group similar articles.

When the Article List has been created it can be printed. The buttons in the upper left area of the Article List window are available for this (see screenshot on left).

The settings for the print form are described below. The Calculation and Customer details described in the Document Properties will directly affect the creation of the form.

After you have clicked the button for creating a print form, the window shown in the next illustration will open.

pCon.planner_article_list_06

In the Form settings tab there are various options for individual adaptation of the form for printout. There are several templates (shown in the Form type field) but you can also decide for yourself the elements to be contained in your form.

The Text tab enables Front text and End text (such as Terms and Conditions of Business or license texts) to be typed in or other files which are required for your form to be loaded. Clicking on the OK button closes the dialog. Now by clicking the relevant button you can either print the form or export it as a file.

Example of form

Here is a sample form with the individual elements numbered and marked out in red. The numbers appear again in the table below, explaining the elements of the form.

As an aid to understanding, only one of the chairs used in the design which the form illustrates has been used.
