Clappia, a powerful app-building platform, offers a seamless solution to create dynamic PDFs for app data, streamlining essential documentation processes.

The Challenge

‍Traditionally, businesses face challenges in generating and customizing PDFs for the data captured through their apps. Manually creating these documents can be time-consuming and prone to errors, hampering productivity and efficiency.

The Solution

‍Clappia's PDF creation feature empowers users to generate PDFs for their app data effortlessly. Whether it's creating professional invoices or comprehensive reports, this feature enables organizations to automate document generation, saving time and effort.

How It Works

‍Let's explore an example of an incident report app created using Clappia. We will see how to generate a PDF report for each incident report submission.

Step-by-Step Process

• App Design: Design an "Incident Report" app on Clappia, including all necessary fields to capture incident details.

• Configure PDF Settings: In the app's configuration section, click on "Print Settings." Then, add a print template with a descriptive name, like "Incident Report."

• Design the PDF Template: Using Clappia's intuitive interface, design the PDF template by adding text, images, tables, and formatting. You can even make the template dynamic by incorporating variables to automatically pull data from app fields.

• Incorporate Variables: Utilize the "@" symbol followed by the field name (e.g., @Report ID) to incorporate dynamic variables in the PDF template. These variables automatically fetch data from the corresponding app fields.

• Add Header and Footer: Enhance the PDF's appearance by enabling headers and footers. You can add logos, company information, or any other relevant details.

• Save the Template: Once the template is ready, save it to use for generating PDFs.
