Scheduling PDF printing
New automation action - “Cancel pending PDF prints”
In the case of scheduling tasks that run PDF printing using automations, it’s not possible to run the existing “Cancel PDF printing” action (Settings > System administration - DB), due to documents accumulating in the printing queue.
For this particular case we implemented a new automation action, “Cancel pending PDF prints”, with parameters “Workstation” and “Server”. It’s possible to select both parameters in order to deal with the failure to cancel pending PDF prints in both the workstation and the server.
CONFIGURATION AND USE
Below you can see in detail the necessary steps required to use the new automation action:
- At Configuration… > General > Company parameters > in parameter «Printer management settings from ESERPServer» specify the printing methods preferred:
“Printer management settings from ESERPServer” parameter
|
When it comes to PDF printing, you must select the Entersoft Document Printer. |
|---|
In the Document type series preferred, select the preferred printers:
Document series printer
|
ATTENTION!
The same values selected in the aforementioned field must be copy-pasted into the respective field of the client. |
|---|
For print cancellations to be executed via scheduling and take place in both the Server and Client, take the following steps:
- Create a new Scheduled task (Settings > Scheduling > Scheduled tasks >
) - Go to View/Automation > Automation and parameters and open the new automation.
Then, select the new automation action “Cancel pending PDF prints”(CancelPendingPrintRowAction) from the available actions.
Define a Title and check that the field values (Workstation and Server) are set to “true”.
Save.

|
ATTENTION!
You may need to de-select and re-select the checkboxes of the parameters to make sure that the values are set as “true”. |
|---|
Finally, click on “Accept”.
Back in the application, you can now execute the pre-existing action for cancelling PDF prints, from System administration - DB > Cancel PDF printing. A window will appear for you to choose whether to run this process in the Server & Workstation, or only one of the two.
The PDF prints that were pending have all been cancelled and we can now execute the PDF printing scheduling as usual.
Transferring data to companies
Column addition - Name & TRN
Two new columns were added to the screen Select Company – Companies entries will be copied to, which appears when selecting the action “Copy to other Companies ...” of the page Companies – Full list.
The two new columns were added in order to offer more information to the user and concern:
- The name of the company
- The company TRN
Scroller Designer improvements
In version 5.14.0.0, a series of improvements were implemented in the Scroller Designer, to facilitate the user:
Filter data
In an already created sub-filter, when the user makes a change in the Filter data screen, the fields “Name” and “Name in DB” change the entry in the sub-filters list.
Warning message - Column addition
A new, enriched warning message appears now when the user attempts to add a column with the same name as an existing one in the list of available fields. The process fails and the warning message appears:
Improved display of fields list
The display of the available fields list has also been improved. Now, the columns appear grouped by table, while the tales appear by alphabetical order:
Payment method
Skip holidays
Now, when the “Ship holidays” flag is enabled in the payment method and the due date is the end of the month, the system stops on the last business day of the month and does not carry over to the next month.
