Printing a Search ReportBook

Contents

The Search ReportBook allows you to create a report for each spreadsheet record and all linked files located after a search query is run. The Search ReportBook embeds the linked files in the PDF report, allowing you and others to view the documents without having to open the case in CaseMap. The search query run before generating the report prints at the top left of each report page.

Once the report is printed to PDF, spreadsheet records with linked documents or files display a paperclip icon. Clicking the paperclip icon in the lower left corner of the PDF report opens an Attachments pane listing all linked documents. Double-clicking on a file opens the document in a new window, in its native application.

The Search ReportBook is organized by spreadsheet. CaseMap will only embed files that are in the Linked Files field in object spreadsheets or the Authority and Extracts spreadsheet or Source(s) field for the Facts spreadsheet.

The Search ReportBook includes only those spreadsheet fields in the current view. If you have modified the spreadsheet field display order, the Search ReportBook will print the fields in your current view. However, the next time you print the Search ReportBook it will return to using a spreadsheet's default fields. You may need to modify your current spreadsheet views before printing the report again.
