On the Displays custom card, you can use PDF reports to share information such as:
- Overview of current product displays at a store
- List of the manufacturer’s product displays
- List of the competitors’ product displays
To trigger and generate PDF reports in the CG Cloud offline mobile app:
- Create a PrintLayoutV2 contract in Modeler.
- Add a menu and a menu item to generate a PDF report.
- Implement the process adaptations for print action.
To create the layout for a store display PDF report:
- Create a table that lists the current product displays in a store.
- Create filtered lists to show the manufacturer’s and competitors’ product displays in a
store.
The generated PDF report shows the Current Display table and the Own Displays and Competitor
Displays filtered lists.
