Customize Print Format

Print Formats are the layouts that are generated when you want to Print or Email a transaction.

This feature comes handy for all the transactions in OneHash like all the sales and purchase transactions, HR documents and lot more.

In OneHash, there are three types of Print Formats, namely, Standard Print Format, Custom Print Format and HTML Print Format.

Standard Print Format

Every Printable Document Type in OneHash will have it's own Standard Print Format which gets generated by the Frappe Framework. The field placement in the Standard Print Formats will be dependent on the position of the respective fields in the document.



Any changes made to the Standard Print Format will have to be done using a Customize Form. You can also checkout adding fields in Print Format

Custom Print Format

You can also create your own custom Print Formats by using a tool called Print Format Builder.. This tool will help you in making a simple Customized Print Format by dragging and dropping fields in a format as per your preference.



Once a Print Format is created using a Print Format Builder, then it will be available for selection in the Print Format List, after Standard.



For creating Custom Print Formats, OneHash comes with several pre-defined templates in three styles, namely, Modern, Monochrome and Classic.

To create your versions, open an existing template from:

Setup > Printing > Print Formats

HTML Print Format

For creating an HTML Print Format, you would require some knowledge of HTML, CSS, and Python. Here is an example of how a Print Format can be design which has very specific format.



Print Formats are provided on the server-side using the Jinja Templating Language. All forms have access to the doc object which contains information about the document that is being formatted. You can also access common utilities via the frappe module.
