Print Customer Certificate

You can print a test version or actual Customer Certificate using the actions on the Print/Send menu. Depending on the type of document that needs to be printed, there is a requirement and result of printing.

Note

Ensure that Customer Certificate and Test Report report IDs are defined (see Certificate Report Selections).
Additionally, test properties are printed on either report as long as the No Print on Certificate field is not activated in related test property pages (see Test Property and Test Property Sets).

Customer Certificate

The Print action opens the Customer Certificate for preview but will only allow printing if the Lot-/Serial No. Status permits it (see Lot/Serial No. Status). Printing a Customer Certificate will increase the value in the No. Printed field on the General FastTab.

Test Report

The Test Report action opens/prints a proforma version of the Customer Certificate, which allows you to view and check the printed document before certification/approval.

This report does not require a Lot-/Serial No. Status with printing permissions and does not increase the number of printed Customer Certificates if printed.

Extended Text

Extended text from the test property, test property set, test plan, and test method are shown in the lines of both reports. Text can originate from the test property but be changed on the various documents, but in general, the text is displayed as follows:

  • The text in the Test Prop. Set Text field from the Test Plan Card line is transferred to the Test Property Set Text field on the Customer Certificate line. This text is bolded and is used as a header for the test property set.
  • The text in the Test Property Text field from the Test Plan Prop. Set Card line is transferred to the Test Property Text field on the Customer Certificate line. This text is shown as the test property description.
  • The text in the Test Property Text 2 field from the Test Plan Prop. Set Card line is transferred to the Test Property Text 2 field on the Customer Certificate line. This text is shown next to the test property description.
  • The text in the Text field from the Method Card is transferred to the Method Text field on the Customer Certificate line. This text is shown at the end of the report lines, under the Specification column.

This text can be translated and shown in the language defined in the Language Code field on the Customer Certificate Card. For more information, see Test Translations.
