Add cover page to document when printing

I should have been clearer.  These are document management documents.  Can report rules be used when printing from doc management?  We are using report rules for invoices so I am familiar with how they work.

Hi,

You can create a document macro that will be executed when the user prints the document. The macro can then, if the application supports scripting/automation (Word and Excel will work, not sure about PDF documents, it will depend on the viewer), add whatever is needed to the document before it is printed.

Document macros are described in the end-user documentation (search for “macros”) and you can learn how to set them up there. However, writing the actual macro “code” will depend on each document file type and use case, and you might need some help there. IFS Support services might be able to help you out there, or any of IFS’ partners (AddoVation, Din ERP, etc.).

Good luck!

I have figured out that I can create a macro that will open a web page.  I can use this to open a Sql Server Report Services report that can be used as a cover page.  The macro runs when the view button is clicked.  The web page opens up but the checked in document does not open to be viewed.  Do I have to add code to the macro to also open the document?  Below is what my test script looks like.

Public Sub Open_RS() 
Dim WscriptSchell
Set WscriptSchell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

WscriptSchell.Run "https://reportservices.xxx.com/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx", 9

End Sub
