Batch printing linked documents

The Batch Printing Wizard allows you to print documents linked to an objects spreadsheet, research spreadsheets (Authorities and Extracts from Authorities spreadsheets), and the Facts spreadsheet. You must be viewing the spreadsheet from which you want to print documents before the batch printing options are enabled. You can only batch print from one spreadsheet at a time. You must have permission to save files to a selected folder when printing to PDF or TIFF.

 

Batch printing options include:

Wizard to Printer
Wizard to PDF
Wizard to TIFF

 

The Batch Print Wizard allows you to:

Review documents in the batch, and remove any you do not want to print
Select color and annotation options
Choose your printed output

Batch Printing Considerations

General

When printing from the Facts spreadsheets, CaseMap loads all documents for any object linked to a fact record into the batch for printing.

When printing from an objects or research spreadsheet, CaseMap loads all documents in the Linked File field into the batch for printing. If an object is linked to multiple facts, the document is only selected once for printing.

If any filters or searches are currently running in a spreadsheet, CaseMap loads only those documents linked to records in the current spreadsheet view.

Files print in the order they display on the selected spreadsheet (as opposed to file name order). When printing from the Facts spreadsheet, files print in the order they first display. If a document is linked to a fact record multiple times, it will only be selected once for printing. If multiple documents are linked to a single fact, the documents will be listed in a random order in the Batch Print Wizard.

Printer, PDF, or TIFF

Burning annotations as a permanent part of the image prints the annotations in color into the Printer, PDF, or TIFF file.

Printing annotation notes in the Printer, PDF, or TIFF output allows users to view the notes when the mouse pointer is placed over the annotation.

Select a custom print color for annotations. This color can be different than the color used when the annotations were applied. The color selected for printing applies to all annotations in the document batch. For example, if users apply annotations using green and pink colors and yellow is selected as the annotation print color, then all annotations will print highlighted in yellow.

Case staff must have permission to save files to a selected folder when printing to Printer, PDF, or TIFF. If they do not have folder permissions, users should select another folder or contact their system administrator for assistance.
