PDF protocol profiles
Under "Administration" and "PDF protocol profiles" checklist and issue protocol profiles can be viewed, edited and added. The PDF protocol profiles contain various options. This makes it possible to define exactly what should be displayed in the protocol and to personalize the content.
Create PDF protocol profiles
New PDF protocols can be created via the orange plus icon. When adding, a meaningful title has to be defined and a type has to be selected.
Depending on the selected type, either a checklist protocol profile or an issue protocol profile is created:
Checklist protocols
Checklist protocol default
The standard checklist protocol has a new design and many new setting options.
Checklist protocol compact
The compact checklist protocol is a compact version of the checklist protocol with the same setting options.
Issue protocol
Issue protocol
The issue protocol has a large number of setting options for flexible configuration.
Checklist Protocol Profiles
Depending on the type, different setting options are displayed, which can be adjusted as required.
Table explanation: If "Yes", the setting is activated by default, if "No", it is deactivated by default. If a field in the table is empty, this setting option is not possible in the profile.

*For the standard checklist protocol as well as for the compact checklist protocol, you can additionally define whether comments incl. photos as well as issues, and an issue summary and a configurable text should be displayed on the title page, and a header and footer can be added.
Via "Add background image" images in jpg and png format (preferably in A4 format 3508 x 2480 px) can be uploaded to get a custom background image in the PDF protocol. Here it is possible to upload a custom image for the first page and the remaining pages of the protocol to become even more flexible in the design. This feature is available for the Standard Checklist Protocol as well as the Compact Checklist Protocol.
