1 Initial Problem
Recurrently, we receive requests for the ability to print individual data collection entries from their single-view.Currently, this can only be done via the browser itself, but this results in unwanted elements of the page being included. Furthermore, using the browser’s own print dialogue is not considered very intuitive – users would much rather expect an option within ILIAS itself.
2 Conceptual Summary
For single views of data collection entries, it should be possible to generate a printout or PDF directly, similar to other objects with page editor content (learning modules, portfolio, etc.).
- The function should be located in the toolbar.
- The object type icon, the object title, the description and the page content are displayed. (As with other objects)
- The print function can be enabled and disabled in the view settings. The default setting value is 'disabled'.
- Note: As not all content is actually suitable for printing or saving as a PDF, this decision should be left entirely to the author of the object. For example, videos and file objects are not suitable.
