Creating a PDF Report Application

New Application

With the growing evolution of the Grid/Report application’s features for generating reports, the old PDF Report application was removed from the interface. However, it is still possible to use it.

To enable this functionality, the Scriptcase administrator must access the Options > Settings menu and open the System Settings page.

Access the Options > Settings menu

At the bottom of the page, after the foreign key configuration section, you can enable the old menu application to display it as an option when creating new applications.

Enable the old application

Once enabled, the application will appear on the new application creation screen, as shown in the image below.
